Slide 4 : Identify the type of projection. What are its characteristics?
Slide 5 : Identify the type of projection. What are its characteristics?
Slide 6 : Review
Label the globe with the navigation terms that you’ve learned.
Add more lines if needed!
Slide 7 : Rhumb line or Great Circle?
Slide 8 : How charts differ from maps:
Control Zones
Aerodrome Information
Ground Elevation
Lines of Variation
Airspace Information
Communication/ Navigation Aids

Slide 13 : Can you find: lines of latitude and longitude? Airports? Control Zones? Other Symbols?
Label the chart!
Slide 14 : To Measure Distance on a Chart
Use ruler and chart scale
Slide 15 :
Slide 16 :
Slide 17 : 21 SM
Slide 18 : True north pole Magnetic north pole
Slide 19 : The magnetic north pole moves!
Slide 20 : Variation
The angle between the true meridian and the magnetic meridian.
Shown as dashed lines on charts that join places where the variation is the same (Isogonic lines).
Deviation
The angle that the compass needle is affected by the metal in the airplane and engine.
Slide 21 : When we try to use a compass, it points at the magnetic north pole.
Because variation is different depending on your location, charts are set up to use True North, and have lines on them to represent the variation in different places.
When you want to go somewhere, you figure out the direction, and then adjust for the variation.
Slide 22 : Isogonic Lines
Isogonic lines join areas of equal magnetic variation.
Agonic Lines
Agonic lines join are a type of Isogonic line that join areas of no variation.
Slide 23 : Magnetic Compass
Used to determine magnetic heading.
Usually consists of one or two magnets attached to a float and a compass card that can rotate freely in a liquid.
It is affected by the metal in the airplane, the electronics and the engine (deviation). Lubber line
Slide 24 : Track:
Proposed path over the ground
Track Made Good:
Actual path over the ground
Track Error:
Angle between track and track made good
Bearing:
The direction or angle from one point to another
