DME Arcs

Instrument Flight

[@pilot1906]

This was an awesome explanation. DME Arcs always terrified me, but this made them super simple

[@maxsalman783]

"Small excursion off course" This man must be a legend with diplomatic speaking. Great clip, very well explained!

[@zacharynorman397]

Assuming I pass my instrument check ride next week, I owe you all a beer.

[@iScyntax]

2 year late response lol, how was it?

[@zacharynorman397]

@@iScyntax haha, I passed! Now, about to take Commercial checkride!

[@johnsmithh662]

You won’t be tested on a dme arc unless your airport has one. Is this true?

[@skialldaylong]

One of the coolest dudes ever! BRING MORE Z MAN! WAZZZ UPPP

[@user-vz3qg3et8f]

you guys are doing incredible videos and very useful WELL DONE and thanks a lot.!!!!!!!!

[@waqarsyed6641]

Captain thank you so much for an awesome video very professionally done

[@Jeffopar]

Your videos are fantastic, thank you so much from London.

[@CaliCass14]

I love this professor!! such a great voice

[@JohnDebrey]

Working on my CFII right now and today am teaching the first dme arc lesson. Perfect timing!

[@Jorge-ef4du]

came here for a refresher on DME Arcs and that approach happens to be the next one I'm doing. Trippy

[@ViviendoOntario]

There are two ways turn 10 and twist 10. But another option is turn 90º and just play with your DME if you DME Distance increase you are flying away from the VOR , and if your distance decreases that means you are getting closer to the VOR, in either way you just need to fly a heading to correct that. And remember that you have 0.5 DME of allowances.

[@WickYTcodm]

The explanation of this video plus his voice reminds me of the safety videos prior to rides at disney or universal, great explanation thank you!

[@geordieyoung13]

Fantastic video. Thank you!

[@patrickwilliams2554]

please do not stop guys, your videos are fantastic! kind regards Patrick

Z Man at it again with another save

[@SUPERSONIC88-]

another level of teaching ！ great work

[@CrIsTiNaMaRiiE]

Excellent video! Thanks

[@theavbug]

Great explanation. Thank you!!

[@comeflywithkeegs1856]

Awesome video

[@float3609]

These videos are great--and getting better. I have a suggestion for a video. How about one that discusses IFR flight planning. Thanks!

[@BangKieu96]

Beautiful demonstration! Thank you.

[@FlyingJournalism]

THANK GOD FOR ERAU VIDEOS👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@realbok4life]

Great video, thank you!

[@pinkchampagne9786]

This is amazing. Makes it much more clear. Thank you!

[@space1commander]

Very cool, Thank You Captain.

[@ktkatmilligan]

Captain Z! The voice behind these famous videos. What a surprise lol

[@cocowash268]

Amazing explaination, greetings from Argentina!

[@abbieamavi]

This was awesome, thank you!!

[@cjwill2521]

If we're training pilots to fly higher performance aircraft, wouldn't it be better to teach how to actually fly the arc vs. the "turn 10 / twist 10" technique? A foundational understanding of the 60-1 rule, aircraft turn radius and basic instrument techniques (keeping the VOR on the 90 degree mark and making small adjustments to keep the DME within a reasonable tolerance) will keep pilots on the arc safely within tolerances, regardless of aircraft or airspeed flown. Air Force teaches this technique in T-6s, T-1s and T-38s, and it works for all aircraft.

[@leomottier7342]

I mean everybody should watch this!

[@HarrySingh-pd6lk]

An easier way is to tune the course TO the vor. You can twist 10 degrees after each segment till you’ve reached the published inbound course heading. I’ve always found it less confusing doing it this way.

[@solamigos]

Many thanks for the informative video!

[@nehemiebahizire3759]

You're amazing, I learnt a lot from you

[@filippoma2097]

clear& prof......great capt.

[@sandeepvictor6879]

My long time doubt finally solved about DME ARC, how to maintain 10 DME ARC Finally got it

[@d.fenech]

Great video! Thank you :)

[@user-yk9mx9ov6z]

Thank you!

[@JH-qqqqqiim]

I’m starting to see why people pay so much to go to Embry Riddle. They really shine on the ground school.

[@reponrepnation3004]

After turning 90 degrees to join the arc, afterward why can't you just watch for DME distance, if the DME distance is increasing, meaning you are flying away from the arc so you better start turn towards inside a bit vice versa or even easier way keep your VOR always 90 degree of your current heading eh . wouldn't this work out better ?

[@FlyingJournalism]

Good point, you could do it that way... my question was , what do you do when you are 2.5 miles off on the DME arc? Can you correct or go missed?

[@windshearahead7012]

the turn 10 twist 10 method is actually easier.

[@wofdigy]

great video

[@alflaw57]

Why does the instructor say the VOR is "on the field" for the ELN VOR A?

[@capt.Mo.]

what will be the instructions be like from ATC for DME ARC?

[@joshupmeyer7318]

Are these specifically for VOR approaches?

[@Defbond707]

In TERPS it's specified that when a DME Arc is used to define an Intermediate Approach Segment the DME facility should be collocated with the NAVAID (VOR/NDB). In PANS-OPS this is not specified, is positive course guidance assured if the DME Arc is not collocated with the NAVAID facility? If no, what are you basing this on?

[@alexandranickerson805]

Amazing!!!

[@barko2562]

nice video congratulations, I have a question. using this method I notice that I continually move away from the station, but if my selected radial always remains perpendicular to the heading I am at the same distance, could anyone explain to me why?

[@TheFlyingZulu]

To help with the wind is there is any, shouldn't it always be blowing to the outside of the arc? Because, if you're using the arc to set up for an approach you should be flying into the wind on that approach for the runway.

[@user-jg7jm7tt3w]

What is the tolerance of the dme arc procedure

[@attitudepilot3474]

Follow the magenta when in doubt

[@Hedgeflexlfz]

bruh ERAU kids be like

[@chasevandyk5082]

Lmao this is my home airport.

[@mrkhan2983]

Can it be a TO indication while flying an arc ?

[@chomanthapa]

Say. I am travelling in a faster aircraft, at what dme should I turn 90 deg to join the dme arc ?

[@USA2041]

Would you mind sending formula of Arc distance from IAF UP TO FINAL APP?

[@perropipa900]

amazing

[@naturallyyours7473]

How do I know which way to turn?😢

[@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur]

that turn ten, twist ten doesnt make any sense. whats that for? the DME tells you if your on the turn.

[@itsMe_TheHerpes]

according to these calculations, the earth is flat. and all pilots know about this, but they don't tell us.

[@HJ-zn5go]

Wassupppppp

[@brodardmangala1730]

This looks difficult to understand

[@tonyr.2321]

Speed X .75

[@Hedgeflexlfz]

It's easy in a G1000
