Modes of Operation
When flying a VOR intercept, the optimum intercept angle should be
less than 45. If the intercept angle is greater than 45, course cut
limiting may occur.
The course cut limiter works primarily when approaching the VOR radial
at an intercept angle that is greater than 45 and at high speed. Its
function is to limit steering commands to 45. This forces a flightpath
to get on the selected radial sooner to prevent overshooting beam
center. T ypically, the roll command makes an initial heading change,
levels out and flies toward the beam, and makes a second heading
change to get lined up on the center of the selected radial, as shown in
Figure 8--7.
