At a distance of about 60 NM set the heading bug on the current course. Monitor the distance to NAV1, the radial of NAV2 and the distance to NAV2. At a distance of 74.5 NM to NAV1, a distance of 140.7 NM and at the '''radial''' intercept of NAV2 should be the runway. So, from 60 NM onwards, look outside the window, then at NAV1 and then NAV2 etc. | At a distance of about 60 NM set the heading bug on the current course.

The runway SPRF, San Rafael, has a elevation of 14422 feet and a heading of 297 (30). Our initial altitude has been set 3000NM above the RW elevation. That should give sufficient room for navigation. | The runway SPRF, San Rafael, has a elevation of 14422 feet and a heading of 297 (30).
