Air navigation is defined as "the process of determining the geographic position and maintaining
the desired direction of an aircraft relative to the surface of the earth
There are three types of navigation
1) Dead Reckoning 2) Visual Navigation
3) Electronic Navigation
Dead Reckoning
Dead Reckoning is defined as directing an aircraft and determining its position by the
ck
application of direction and speed data from a previous position. It is the basis for all types of air
navigation.
Navigation
lo
Navigation is both the history and prediction of an aircraft's flight path.
What are the four components at the heart of Dead Reckoning navigation?
yc
1) Position, 2) Direction, 3) Time, 4) Speed
What is position in Dead Reckoning Navigation?
Position is a set of coordinates that define the specific location of the aircraft above the earth's
surface. It is a geographic point defined by coordinates. There are several coordinate systems
ud
available to determine a specific location on the earth's surface. The primary system used in
aviation is the latitude/longitude system.
What is direction in Dead Reckoning Navigation?
Direction is an angular measurement from a reference, which determines the actual flight path
St
from a known starting point. Direction is an angular distance from a reference. Direction, stated
in whole numbers, is measured from 001 degrees to a maximum of 360 degrees. The reference
for the angle can be either True North or Magnetic North. True North is the top of the earth
whereas Magnetic North is the point from which all of the Earth's magnetic lines of force
emanate.
What is speed in Dead Reckoning Navigation?
Speed multiplied by time will produce the distance flown (or to be flown).
