I've red it here in the TACMAN:

very useful knowledge
P.S.: I think that turning directly to a contanc put ownship in a "point" LOS (btw LOS means Line Of Sound). There are different types of LOS, the most important, if I understand correctly the stuff I red in TACMAN and other sources about manual TMA, are three:
- lead LOS
- overlead LOS
- lag LOS
So if you could switch form overlead to lag or from lag to overlead (changing course and/or speed) you can nail down both the minimum and maximum range...
In overlead and lag you have a situation in which your LOBs converge and cross in a point. If you are in a overlead LOS the crossing point is the maximum possible range of the contact, else if you are on a lag LOS the crossing point is the minimum possible range.
