Narrative:

Given a heading to intercept fqf 040 degree radial inbound (220 degrees) between the ATIS, company calls, radio calls, descent planning and turbulence, missed the intercept. Also, was a little late calling the tower after being held up, got busy slowing down and getting down, again very turbulent and gusty. Supplemental information from acn 306500: after being vectored and looking for traffic, flight called tower at dia a little late.

Title: ACR FLC MISSED RADIAL INTERCEPT ON STAR.

Narrative: GIVEN A HDG TO INTERCEPT FQF 040 DEG RADIAL INBOUND (220 DEGS) BTWN THE ATIS, COMPANY CALLS, RADIO CALLS, DSCNT PLANNING AND TURB, MISSED THE INTERCEPT. ALSO, WAS A LITTLE LATE CALLING THE TWR AFTER BEING HELD UP, GOT BUSY SLOWING DOWN AND GETTING DOWN, AGAIN VERY TURBULENT AND GUSTY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 306500: AFTER BEING VECTORED AND LOOKING FOR TFC, FLT CALLED TWR AT DIA A LITTLE LATE.
