Pattern; Intercept; Intercept Using Radial/Course - Honeywell FMZ Series Pilot's Manual

Flight Management System (FMS) for the Agusta AW139/AB139 Helicopter

PATTERN

The PATTERN prompt is displayed at 6L when the DIR key is pushed.
The PATTERN prompt is used to start the pattern definition or review
procedures. PATTERNS are also selected from the NAV INDEX.

INTERCEPT

The FMS supports two types of intercept functions. The first type
consists of defining a radial/course out of a waypoint until intercepting
a radial or course into a second waypoint. The second type of intercept
consists of the pilot flying a heading (either manually or by using the
flight director) towards the inbound radial/course for the waypoint. Both
types of intercepts are conducted for waypoints or arcs.

Intercept Using Radial/Course

Intercepting using radial/course consists of the pilot defining a
radial/course out of a waypoint until intercepting a radial or course into
a second waypoint. The FMS creates a defined latitude/longitude
location and is placed into the active flight plan as a temporary (*RRxx)
waypoint. Procedure 9--3 gives an example.
Step Procedure 9- -3 Intercept Using Radial/Course
