Hello Everyone
I had posted this Q in 2 other forums just few days ago, but sadly
there are no answers up to now except for a single individual who didn't
understand the Q. Here is a copy of the Q below .....basically all am
asking is what's a good practical formula to use from A RADIAL TO AN
ARC & ARC TO A RADIAL and what sort of configuration (flaps/speed) to
be configured prior. ....that's all! I hope I will get an answer on this
forum am sure there are lot's of X 737 drivers who are wroking for
EK,EY,QR, and GF with ample experience to spare to a newbie
The Q is below;
Hello Folks,
I have question to ask about the formula to calculate (RADIAL TO AN ARC)
and the formula to calculate (AN ARC TO A RADIAL) on B737-200, I am
new on the A/C after few years flying pistons & Turbos. The old formulas
that worked well on the pistons & the Trubo-props. were;
1. TAS X .5% = Radius (take it away from ARC distance or add to it)
2. Radius X 60/DME
I am wondering if these formulas work on a jet or are there other
formulas to use for the jets? I have been recommended to join & fly
the ARC configured with FLAPS 5 + SPEED 180K!!
I would appreciate any replies from 737-200 drivers out there with
demonstrated working formulas to enlighten me with their experience
and any suggestion to join an ARC, or a Radial from a DME arc will also
be well appreciated.
Thanx a Million......and happy flying to all.
