Default Re: DME Arc Techniques

I start out with a single needle indication on the HSI (G1000) and the "turn 10, twist 10".
No wind indication, no moving map, no nothing.
Once they get the hang of it I introduce the RMI function, now upon joining the arc set the HSI course needle to the inbound course and fly the arc on the RMI and DME.
Pretty much instant situational awareness and an accurate idea of what's going on.

The 10/10 method is one of the easiest to explain, not necessarily the most convenient to use in real life flying, but it is a method to reach the goal of understanding.
