Angling over to intercept the extended centerline might seem vague, but it
is the best way to accomplish what the controller intends for you to do.
There is nothing in the regs, the AIM, or the controller's handbook that
specifically addresses this situation, so roll your own.


All finals are straight in...Some are just very short and some are
very long.

I'm 10 miles N of the field and the tower calls for a straight-in on

runway 20.

What's the best way intercept the runway centerline?

Vaguely aiming for a point on the extended CL always seems too, well,

vague...

Should I turn on base way out here and then a right turn onto the

centerline?

fly a 45 degree angle (heading 155) to the CL?

something else?


Thanks,
HankC
