Vectored past the localizer
Several times, while under IFR flight plan and radar services, I have
been vectored to intercept the localizer and the controller was late in turning me into the localizer. This usually happens when I need about a 90 degree turn to the localizer. I have decided not to wait for his vector and just turn. This has always been when the freq is busy. There is a very small time window to turn (about 15 seconds), so if the freq is busy, I can't request a turn before I am past, so now, if this happens, I just turn. I told a CFII this and he said, ok, but its not really the legal thing to do. I believe it is the safe thing to do, and therefore legal. Any opinions from the group? |
