DME arcs in SID procedures

[Guest pepribal]

I've realized in SIDs with DME arcs that the arc is not really followed by my A320. Instead of that, I see a straight leg between the two fixes that define the arc, the last of which is always named 'AF'.Is this a normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong?Thanks.

There is no easy way for an Airbus to fly a DME arc. Rob has linked elsewhere in this forum his excellent tutorial on programming these but basically you need to make a series of waypoints in order to shorten the legs and "round off" the straight leg.The same is true in the real aircraft.

Thanks for the answer.However, I've been looking for this tutorial about programming arcs, and I couldn't find it... Could someone please give me the link?Thanks again.
