Title: TOD calculation
Post by Johan Nordqvist on Apr 27th, 2012 at 6:14am
Hello!

I have a question regarding TOD calculation. How would I know when to start my descent if the STAR consists of radials from VOR beacons that aren't located at the arrival airport?

The approach I have in mind is the STAR RWY 32 at ESTA:

Now, let's assume the local DME at the airport, how would one know the distance at which the descent would be initiated?

Also, how would one plan the TOD for a NDB approach to an airport without DME?

Johan
