Joining The Arc
Using a radial from LNY(Lanai VOR) intercept the 10DME Arc. At 11 miles start your turn to a heading that will join the Arc.
TURN 10, TWIST 10
While arcing you will turn 10 degrees towards the VOR every time your CDI needle lines up. Be flexible while flying an arc. If 10 degrees is too much or not enough adjust your heading to stay within one mile of the arc.
Approach Brief
Use this time to set frequencies, check the ID, and brief the approach.
Always keep in mind the radial from where you will intercept your final approach course. I've seen a few students fixate on flying the arc and pass right through their Final Approach Course.
Shooting the approach
Lead your turn inbound for the Localizer to avoid passing through your final approach course.
Be ready for an updraft when you cross over the sea cliff. The edge is 1,083 feet high and can create a bump on your glide slope.
Most airports in Hawaii have an elevation close to sea level. Not Lanai, the airport's elevation is 1308 feet. Don't fly yourself into the ground! Although flying an approach to minimums in Hawaii is very rare. Passing rain clouds can turn great VFR weather into IFR rather quickly.
Lanai Airport has only a CTAF, you will have to contact HCF Approach after landing or going Missed.
