  3. Objectives • Discuss considerations for operating near controlled airports, and identify them on a sectional. • Discuss the following special use airspaces, and identify them on a sectional: • Prohibited and Restricted Areas • Military operating areas and training routes • Discuss the use and limitations of the following: • ADF • VOR • DME • GPS

  4. Objectives(Continued) • Given a sectional chart, a plotter, and two airports: • Plot the course • Identify check points along the route • Calculate how long it should take to get from one airport to the other, flying at 100 kts with no wind • Given Attachment E of the U.S. National SAR Supplement to the International Aeronautical and Maritime SAR Manual, grid a sectional. • Given coordinates and a sectional, use the Standardized Latitude and Longitude Gird System to draw a search grid.

  5. Objectives(Continued) • Define the following navigation terms: • Course, heading and ground track • Nautical mile and knot • Latitude and Longitude • Given a map or sectional: identify an object given its latitude and longitude; and given a position determine its latitude and longitude. • Given a sectional chart, locate and discuss: • Physical features such as topographical details • Towns and cities • Highways and roads • Towers; determine height in both MSL and AGL • Airways and radio aids to navigation • Airports and airport data

  6. Objectives(Continued) • Given a sectional chart, discuss the information found in the Legend • Given a sectional chart, locate Maximum Elevation Figures and state their meaning • Given a sectional chart, a plotter, and two points on the chart: • Determine the cardinal heading • Determine the distance between the two points (nautical and statute miles) • Given data from navaids, track the current position of an aircraft and determine the position of a ground feature (sectional and map) • State the size of a full and a one-quarter standardized grid

  7. Objectives(Continued) • Given Attachment E of the U.S. National SAR Supplement to the International Aeronautical and Maritime SAR Manual, grid a sectional. • Given coordinates and a sectional, use the Standardized Latitude and Longitude Gird System to draw a search grid.

  8. Navigation Terms • Course - planned or actual path of the aircraft over the ground • True course • Magnetic course • Heading - direction the aircraft is pointing • Ground track – actual path of the aircraft over the ground • Nautical mile (nm) - measurement used in air navigation • Knots (kts) - nautical miles per hour

  9. Locating a Position • Use a system of imaginary lines • Some run north and south (latitude) • Others run east and west (longitude) • Where they cross defines a point on the earth • By convention, latitude is stated first

  10. Latitude • Lines of latitude run east and west • Latitude starts with 0°at the equator • Latitude increases to 90°north at the North Pole and 90°south at the South Pole • Great Circle and Lesser Circles North Latitudes Equator South Latitudes

  11. Longitude • Longitude has to start someplace • So 0° is in Greenwich England • East and west longitude increase as you move away from the Prime Meridian West Longitude East Longitude Prime Meridian

  12. Prime Meridian or 0 degrees Lines of Longitude Longitude • Greenwich (Prime) Meridian is zero degrees longitude on one side of the earth • East and west longitude increase until they meet at 180° on the other side of the earth • All line of longitude are great circles (same length)

  22. Position Determination • Sectional or Map • Work from larger to smaller • Work from a known location to present location • Watch the scale on maps • Remain suspicious if all points don’t seem to line up right • Use groups of 3 characteristics to verify position

  23. Tracking and Recording Position • Maintain positional awareness from takeoff to landing • Finger on the map method using visual landmarks • Ask the pilot or observer to determine position using GPS and/or VOR/DME

  24. Tracking and Recording Position • Once you locate a downed aircraft or determines the location of a breech in the levy, you must be able to pinpoint the location on the sectional and report that position to others. Since the details on the sectional chart are often not detailed enough to be useful to ground units, you have to transfer that information to a map (e.g., road or topographical)

  25. Tracking and Recording Position • Knowing the aircraft's position at all times is essential if an in-flight emergency should occur. Equipment malfunctions, an electrical fire, or a medical emergency can necessitate landing at the nearest airport: if you don't know where you are, how can you find the nearest airfield

  26. At Obstacles and Other Dangers TALL TOWERS

  27. Obstacles and Other Dangers At GUY WIRES

  28. Obstacles and Other Dangers POWER LINES

  29. Obstacles and Other Dangers LOW-FLYING, HEAVY AIRCRAFT

  30. CAP StandardGrid System • Overlays standard sectional maps • Subdivides the map into distinct working areas • Each grid is 1/4° (15 minutes) of latitude by 1/4° of longitude and is assigned a number • Grids are further divided into sub-grids labeled A, B, C, and D • Each sectional has a standard for assigning grid numbers — for areas of overlap the grid number of the most westerly chart is used

  31. CAP ConventionalGrid System • Each grid on the sectional is assigned a number • In this example, the grid depicted is on the St Louis Sectional • STL 159 • Grids are subdivided into smaller sections • Letters are used to define sub-grids STL 159A 102-15 W 102-00 W 36-15 N B A 36-07.5 N D C 36-00 N 102-07.5 W 102 15’ W 102-00 W

  32. Cell Grid System • Can be used on any kind of chart that has lines of lat/long • 1° blocks identified by the intersection of whole numbers of lat/long, such as 36-00N and 102-00W • Points are designated with the latitude first (36 /102) and they identify the area north and west of the intersection of these two lines • Grids can be subdivided into smaller sections • Letters are used to define sub-grids

  33. Marking Grid Charts • You can use a new sectional — normally not updated unless it gets worn out • Use a Hi-Lighter (not pink) to mark grid boundaries on the chart using a long ruler • Mark grid identification in black ink for easy visibility • You should always keep a current sectional with you even if you have a sectional which is marked with grids

  34. Electronic Aidsto Navigation • Automatic direction finder (ADF) • Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) • Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) • Global Positioning System (GPS)

  35. ADF • Automatic Direction Finding ADF • Oldest system • Fair accuracy • Low cost • Homing only Aircraft headed North Needle always points toward the station

  36. Using ADFTo Determine Position • Automatic Direction Finding ADF • Oldest system • Fair accuracy • Low cost • Homing only

  37. VOR • Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Ranging VOR • Very common • Most air routes defined by VORs • Good Accuracy Radial VOR provides heading and course deviation indication

  38. VOR

  39. VOR

  40. Using the VORto Determine Position • Turn the OBS knob until the needle centers with a FROM flag • Read the bearing from the station directly at the top • Plot the bearing on the chart

  41. Keeping Trackof Your Position

  42. DME • Distance Measuring Equipment • TACAN or VORTAC • Very Accurate when flying directly towards Slant range Ground Range

  43. DME

  44. GPS • Global Positioning System • 24 Satellites • GPS receiver • Very accurate
