What is the maximum inbound course intercept angle?

The maximum inbound course intercept angle is 90°. This angle is crucial for effective navigation during approaches and holds. When intercepting a course, pilots should aim for an angle that allows for a stable and predictable approach, which is typically 90° or less. If the intercept angle exceeds this limit, it can lead to difficult tracking of the course, increased workload for the pilot, and potential difficulties in maintaining a stable flight path. Keeping the intercept angle at or below 90° facilitates better control and accuracy in navigation, ensuring that the aircraft aligns correctly with the desired course.
