Radar vectoring advice please
Hi all,
I'm a new simulator instructor (pilot) and part of the job involves simulating ATC and giving accurate radar vectors to a final approach (normally to an ILS). Could anyone help me in giving some practical 'rules of thumb' please? Specifically how far to go downwind to achieve a particular length final (10nm for instance) and then at what point to turn them from base leg to final and what range of intercept headings to use? Also any rules of thumb for adjusting for head/tail wind on base etc. Having done it a few times with varying success / finesse it seems quite an art form!
Many thanks!
