Slide 3 : Review How long is a kilometer? How long is a statute mile? How long is a nautical mile?

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 : What is the difference between variation and deviation? What are isogonic lines? Agonic lines?

Slide 9 : Calculating Compass Headings True Heading →Variation→Magnetic Heading →Deviation →Compass Heading TVMDC TV Makes Dull Company “West is Best (+), East is Least (-)” Fill in the blanks!

Slide 10 : There are lots of factors to consider when preparing to go flying: Map preparation Meteorological Information NOTAMs Weight and Balance Use of CFS Documents to be carried on an aircraft Flight Plans/ Flight Itineraries Aircraft serviceability You will look at some of these topics in more depth when you learn how to fly!

Slide 11 : Things to do when preparing a map for a flight: Check you are using an up-to-date chart Draw track lines, true, magnetic headings and distances Calculate for the deviation Terrain elevation Prohibited areas Mark emergency landing areas, airport Checkpoints Draw 10 degree lines

Slide 12 : Draw track lines, true, magnetic headings and distances Calculate for the deviation Terrain elevation Prohibited areas Mark emergency landing areas, airport Checkpoints Draw 10 degree lines

Slide 13 : Draw track lines, true, magnetic headings and distances Calculate for the deviation Check the terrain elevation Prohibited areas Mark emergency landing areas, airport Show checkpoints Draw 10 degree lines (more info soon) Variation: 16°E (partly cut off) Variation: 15°E

Slide 14 : Ten Degree Drift Lines -before taking off, draw lines 10° on either side of the track line -these will help you to estimate any errors that you may make in your track as a result of winds or other errors

Slide 16 : Two questions to ask yourself…. One, will you be in limits when you take off? Two, will you be in limits when you land? (for example: after fuel use) If either answer is no, CHANGE SOMETHING

Slide 17 : Check out the airport information in the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS)

Documents to carry : Documents to carry AROWJIL Certificate of Airworthiness Certificate of Registration Operator’s Manual (POH) Weight and Balance Journey Log Proof of Insurance Crew Licenses

Slide 19 :

One last thing before you go flying : One last thing before you go flying Look in the journey log and make sure the aircraft is serviceable

Slide 21 : 1 in 60 Rule “An error in the track of one degree will cause an error in position of about one mile in a distance of 60 miles.”

Slide 22 : 1 in 60 Rule “An error in the track of one degree will cause an error in position of about one mile in a distance of 60 miles.” So, if you have 120 nautical miles total distance to travel, and you are one degree off, you will be 1 mile from your track after travelling 60 miles (half way). Maybe you were supposed to have a heading of 46° but instead your heading was 47°. If you correct your heading to 46°, you will still be 1 mile from your track. You need to correct your heading 2°, to 45° in order to get back to the original track 60 miles later (at the airport).

Slide 23 : 1 in 60 Rule “An error in the track of one degree will cause an error in position of about one mile in a distance of 60 miles.” Scenario You have 120 nautical miles (nm) total to travel. After 60 nm, you find you are 2nm from your planned track. What is the error in heading? What correction do you need to make in order to reach your destination?

Slide 24 : 1 in 60 Rule “An error in the track of one degree will cause an error in position of about one mile in a distance of 60 miles.” Scenario You have 120 nautical miles (nm) total to travel. After 60 nm, you find you are 4nm from your planned track. What is the error in heading? What correction do you need to make in order to reach your destination?
