z.k

You track the 039 Radial from CIA outbound to 9.0 d (which puts you over the same geographical point irresepective of the wind). At that point you make a continuous turn left onto a heading to intercept the localiser inbound course of 202 (probably heading about 230 or 240, depending on the wind to give a good intercept angle). All this time you have been descending from 5000ft overhead CIA and should not descend below 2600ft, which at 6.9d on the ILS inbound should give you glideslope intercept (by which point you should already have intercepted the localiser).

Hope that helps
