Introduction
That is how we calculate some of the unknown components of the triangle
from those that we know
We discussed the triangle of velocities and looked brieflyat how the triangle is solvedWe shall revise the components of
the triangle and learn how this helps us to plan a flight and then notify
other people of our intentions.

Triangle of Velocities
Comprises of 3 vectors ( a vector being a component of the
triangle having both direction & speed ) drawn to scale
One side represents movement of the aircraft in still air
Another represents wind speed & direction
The third shows the actual movement of the plane over the surface of the earth
As a result of the other 2 vectors
![Page 7: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Triangle of Velocities
Thus there are 6 components
Wind Speed Wind Direction
Aircraft Heading True Airspeed
Track Groundspeed

Solution of the Triangle
As long as we have 4 of the components it can be solved by a number of methods:
Scale drawing on graph paperDalton dead reckoning computerMental arithmeticMicro computers

Flight Planning
Both in private aviation & military training flight planning is carried out using a
Pilot Nav Log Card
On this card the flight is divided into a number of legs
![Page 10: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Flight Planning
The card is divided into a number of legs
Before the flight the Triangle Of Velocities is solved for each leg
![Page 12: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Flight Planning
However there is more to be done before the goal is reached
First, the pilot needs to know the tracks and distances of the various legs
So he draws them on a route chart
We will now look at a flight of a bulldog from Leeming to Marham via Cottesmore
departing from Leeming at 1000 hrs
![Page 13: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Flight Planning
The wind forecast is southerly for the first leg
Looking at the map the wind lines are drawn on & you can see there should be a headwind for leg 1 (GS < TAS )
The Wind Forecast Is South Westerly For The Second Leg
Producing A Crosswind For Leg 2 (Hdg & Track Differ By Drift)
![Page 15: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Flight Planning - Log Entries
The Pilot Must Enter Various Details On The Log Card Before Applying The Triangle Of
Velocities:
TRACK
Measured With A Protractor
DISTANCE
Measured From The Chart

Flight Planning - Log Entries
TRUE AIRSPEED
Calculated from the IAS/RAS & Air Temperature
VARIATION
Found from the Peripheral Information
on the Chart
![Page 18: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
Usually the Pilot Would use the Rotatable Compass Rose or
Dalton Computer
We Must Use Graph Paper
The Theory is the same but the Dalton Computer is much quicker
![Page 19: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
Once these are entered The Triangle of Velocities can be used
to calculate, for each Leg:
The Heading to counter the wind
The Groundspeed
![Page 20: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
We already have 4 of the 6 elements of the triangle (1st leg)
WIND DIRECTION 180º
WIND SPEED 30 KT
TRACK 161º
TAS 125 KT
![Page 21: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
We First Draw The W/V From The Direction 180º & Give It A Length Of 3
Units ( To Represent 30 Kt)
NORTH (TRUE)
W/V
![Page 22: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
Next, at the downwind end of the W/V draw the Trk/GS line in direction 161º
It is an unknown length
This length, the Groundspeed, is
one element we will discover
![Page 23: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
All We Currently Know Is That The GS Will Be Less Than The TAS Of 125 Kt
(We Know This From The Log Card)
So The Max Length Of The Line Will Be 12.5 Graph Units
![Page 24: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
Next at the other end of the W/V line draw the HDG/TAS line to A length of
12.5 graph units (for the speed of 125 kt)
to where it crosses the GS line
& work out the angle with a pair of geometry compasses
![Page 25: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

![Page 26: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
We Can Now Calculate That The Length Of The TRK/GS Line Is 9.6
Units So The GS Will Be 96 Kt
![Page 27: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
Using A Protractor We Find The HDG/TAS Is 166º.
We Can Now Apply The Magnetic Variation Of 7º To 166º(t) To Give A
Heading Of 173º (M)
![Page 28: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Flight Planning – Triangle of Velocities
Entering These On The Log Card We Can Work Out The Leg Time By Using The Gs Of 96kt & Distance Of 98nm To Give 61¼ Minutes From Leeming To Cottlesmore
We Can Do The Same For The Second Leg To Marham
![Page 29: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Fuel Planning
![Page 30: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Fuel Planning
One of the main purposes of calculating flight times is to ensure sufficient fuel is
available
If this happens in a car it is inconvenient, in an aircraft it can be fatal
![Page 31: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Fuel Planning
The bulldog consumes fuel at:
12 gallons an hour
So 12.3 gallons are needed for the first leg
12/60 X 61.25 = 12.25
distance
![Page 32: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Other Information
The most important is the Safety Altitude
This is the height a pilot must climb to, or not fly below, in
Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC)
![Page 33: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Other Information
This ensures the aircraft does not hit the ground or obstacles such as TV masts
![Page 34: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Other Information
Safety Altitude is calculated by adding 1000’ to the highest elevation on or near the track
& rounding it up to the next 100’
In mountainous regions a greater safety height is added
![Page 35: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Other Information
An aircraft can not descend below the safety height unless the crew has good visual contact with the ground or the
services of ATC
![Page 36: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ATC Flight Plan
Aircraft crews must notify ATC of their intentions so the overdue action can be
initiated if the aircraft is overdue
![Page 37: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ATC Flight Plan
Additionally aircraft entering busy airspace have to submit a flight plan so their flight can
be coordinated with other aircraft
![Page 38: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
ATC Flight Plan
ATC has a standard format for this, including:
Aircraft call sign Aircraft type
Time & place of departure
Speed & altitude
Route ETA
Safety info
![Page 39: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Conclusion
The principles of flight planning are the same for across country flight in a bulldog or a
Intercontinental flight on a Boeing
![Page 40: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Conclusion• We must measure tracks & distances from a chart/databases,
• Calculate the effects of the weather (especially the wind) ,
• Have sufficient fuel,
• & inform ATC along the route
This ensures that if anything goes wrong help will be available immediately

Introduction
In the pioneering days of aviation aircraft could not fly unless the crew could see the
ground, as map reading was the only means of navigating
![Page 43: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Introduction
Later aircraft where fitted with sextants & radio direction finding equipment, but the big strides occurred during & after the second world war

Introduction
It was not until the 1970’s that world wide coverage with a navigation aid known as
Omega was achieved
![Page 45: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Introduction
More recently Satellite Navigation (SatNav) & the Global Position Satellite have come
into use
![Page 46: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Introduction
Any process of finding an aircraft’s position is known as
Fixing
![Page 47: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Visual Fixing
There are many factors affecting map reading
At this moment we need to know that when you look out of an aircraft & identify some
unique feature this gives a visual fix know as a pinpoint
![Page 48: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Visual Fixing
The accuracy depends on the uniqueness of the feature, accuracy of
the map, & skill of the observer
It is still a reliable method & is used in the early training of
crews
![Page 49: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Radio Aids
If you move a radio through 360º in the horizontal plane you should find 2 points
where reception is good & 2 points where it is bad
![Page 50: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Radio Aids
The radio direction finder (RDF) works on this principle. It shows , on a dial in the aircraft, its bearing from a transmitting
beacon.As long as the position of the Tx beacon is
known a “position line” can be drawn, with the aircraft being somewhere along this line
![Page 51: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Radio Aids
If 2 further position lines can be plotted, with 2 other known beacons, preferably at 60º to
one another, then a “3 position line fix” can be obtained
![Page 52: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Radio Aids
This was a main method in the 1920s & 1930s. However it does depend on the range of the
beacon
![Page 54: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
VOR/DME & TACAN
A more modern method of gathering position lines is from VOR/DME &
TACAN beacons
![Page 55: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
VOR/DME & TACAN
TACAN is a military system, & gives the magnetic bearing, or radial, from the
beacon to the aircraft and the slant range
![Page 56: PILOT NAVIGATION Senior/Master Air Cadet. Learning Outcomes Understand the affects of weather on aviation Know the basic features of air navigation and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e225503460f94b0e742/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

VOR/DME & TACAN
VOR/DME is a civilian system
It gives the magnetic bearing, or radial, from the beacon to the aircraft and the slant
range although the information is less accurate
Civil aircraft fly from beacon to beacon

Astro Navigation
Radio beacons are ideal for overland flights, but for overseas flight early aircrew used
the stars
The principle behind this is that if you think you know your position (dead or deduced reckoning) you can calculate the relative
position of the star

Astro NavigationUsing a sextant to measure the angle
accurately you can compare the actual position of the star to its calculated position
The difference between the 2 represents the error in the DR position. As with RDF 2 or 3
fixes are needed

Astro Navigation
This can be extremely accurate, but is being replaced with GPS
However it cannot be jammed by an enemy!

Radar Navigation
Radar was invented in the 1930’s & rapidly developed
Early systems where crude & unreliable
Modern systems , such as used in tornado are highly effective

Radar Navigation
This enables the radar picture to be matched to a very accurate map by the press of a
button
This enables the navigator to concentrate on other tasks, such as weapon system
management

Radar Navigation
The main problems is that the radar transmits electronic emissions which are
detectable, & radar failure

Radar NavigationWith the rapid development of electronics in the 1950’s & 60’s area navigation systems
where introduced :
GEE DECCA LORAN & OMEGA

Radar Navigation
These work by measuring the time it takes for 2 synchronized signals to arrive from 2
different stations. Each pair gives a position line

Radar Navigation
With the advent of global position satellites fix’s will be available at the touch of a button
with accuracies of a few metres

Active/Passive Systems
We have already seen that the main disadvantage of radar navigation is their
liability to disclosed there presence & location to the enemy
This had lead to the development of Radar Homing Missiles

Active/Passive Systems
Scientists have developed electronic warfare to enable the use of radar. This
includes frequency hoping “smart” radars. It is a ever evolving area
EW measures are used to protect “active” navigation systems, but another approach is
to use equipment that do not transmit, but merely receive
