Intercepting An Arc - Honeywell FMZ Series Pilot's Manual

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

Intercepting an Arc

When an arc exists in the active flight plan, the intercept function is used
to intercept the arc. The FMS supports intercepting the arc using a
radial/course or heading select. Both types of intercepts are similar to
intercepting a waypoint. Procedure 9--5 explains using the intercept
function to fly a radial/course out of a waypoint to intercept an arc.
