Advice from Lou is very helpful! Could you comment on technique for localizer capture. I try to fly an accurate localizer intercept, say from a DME arc, but this ends in a nearly ninety degree intercept which has me overshooting the LOC and by the time I get back on the LOC the glideslope is below. Should one add a couple of miles to the DME arc to allow some distance for making the intercept at a finer angle? I assume that one should never attempt glideshop capture before getting on the localizer. Keeping NAV 1 and 2 needles on the RMI selected intelligently to the available navaids seems to be useful. Your advice would be appreciated, Lou.
