Sector Entries

Jarse

Tried your method but still having to think about it. The point I tried to make was that if the sectors were drawn in like the OZ charts it would be simple. It becomes a problem when the sectors are not drawn and it is close to sector boundaries which means one has to do the calculation to the nearest degree. When the entry is in say the middle of a sector it is straight forward, it only becomes a bit more trying when it is close to the boundary of a sector and the instructor expects you you to get it right without you maneuvering to get it in to the sector of your choosing.

This is an exercise in a trainer which does not allow the use of an FMC.

If there are any mental short cuts to the caculations it would be appreciated.


Thanks
