MSFS - HI-ILS Approach KBAF RWY 20

In this video, we show you the procedure to execute a very high ILS approach in an F-16

Nice! Couple quick things... The 066 radial is not actually meant to be flown (thin radial line on the approach plate). It’s meant as a way to identify PUDGY. Meaning that if you are at 16 DME, when your bearing pointer tuned to the TACAN swings through 066, you know you are at PUDGY. You then keep that bearing pointer 90 degrees to your left as you arc. If you’re a little far, maybe only 85 degrees left… little close, more like 95 if that makes sense. So the arc doesn’t just terminate at 12.9… To fly this, you would arc at 16 nm as I mentioned before. When that bearing pointer hits 032, start your turn to the localizer, 204 inbound course. This lead radial is calculated based on a standard rate turn. The 12.9 DME is telling you that is where LEADS is, meaning passing 12.9 if established on the localizer you can descend further down to 2200 where you’ll intercept the glide slope. Hopefully that makes sense!

I would fly this with the bearing pointer on the TACAN, course needle set to the localizer on 204 the whole time. No need for any swapping
