earth
Describe types of air navigation - ✔✔Dead reckoning - directing an aircraft and
determining its position by the application of direction and speed
(time/speed/distance).
Visual Navigation - Requires maintaining direct visual contact with the ground.
Use ground references to determine current position.
Electronic Navigation - Uses electronic devices to send and receive signals to
determine position.
Describe the four basic elements of dead reckoning navigation - ✔✔Position is a
geographic point determined by coordinates (latitude/longitude)
Direction is an angular distance from a reference
Time can be elapsed time or time of day (must be written in zulu time)
Speed is the magnitude of the velocity of an aircraft (speed = distance/time)
