Nav Ch.1

Front 1

State the basic concepts, principles, and terminology used in air navigation.

Back 1

Air Navigation: the process of determining the geographic position and maintaining the desired direction of an aircraft relative to the surface of the earth.

Front 2

Name the concept that is the basis for all types of air navigation.

Back 2

Dead Reckoning

Front 3

Define the four basic elements of DR navigation.

Back 3

Position: a geographic point defined by coordinates
Direction: an angular distance from a reference
Time: time of day or elapsed time
Speed: the magnitude of the velocity of an aircraft.
Speed=Distance/Time

Front 4

Name the three primary flight instruments essential to dead reckoning (DR) navigation.

Back 4

BDHI
Clock
Airspeed Indicator

Front 5

Name the two secondary flight instruments used to correct for density in DR navigation.

Back 5

Altimeter
Outside Air Temperature gauge (OAT)

Front 6

Define the three major types of navigation.

Back 6

Dead Reckoning: directing an aircraft and determining its position by the application of direction and speed data from a previous position.
Visual Navigation: requires maintaining direct visual contact with the earth's surface.
Electronic Navigation: requires the use of electronic devices to determine position.
