NAVIGATION
From NAM Flying School-Airport, there will be a specific object / landmark that we can use to reach the Main Apron.
The same is when we are in a journey with a/c. For example, we were going to training area, there will be an iconic landmark to guide us.
The process of going from one place to other place is called NAVIGATION.
For visual navigation, one of the most important objects for navigation is a landmark, called CHECKPOINT.
INTEREST
Navigation ability is needed in every flight, since we go to other place and we need to know how to get there and come back again.
Remember, if you can’t navigate properly, it could lead to something called lost position.
NEED

TOPIC
Before flight, we always use navigation for everyday activities, example: go to school, work, and market.
In flight, we must apply what we know from our everyday activities. If we want to go to places, we need : DIRECTION CHECKPOINT DISTANCE TIME FUEL ALTITUDE
Navigation is process monitor and controlling A/C from a place to another place.

ANY QUESTION?
NAVIGATOR Navigation is process monitor and controlling A/C
from a place to another place. We must realize, as a pilot are navigator, since
our duty to monitor and control the A/C. As a pilot, to be able to control it correctly, we need to AVIATE. Then, we need to be able to tell where we are going. So the
pilot’s role is to NAVIGATE. Last but not least, we must know that a pilot didn’t work alone.
Along way, there must be a contact with another aerodrome, i.e. Approach, Tower, and Radar. So, we also need to COMMUNICATE.

These lines are known as : parallels of latitude meridians of longitude.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
EARTH Parallel of Latitude The earth rotates on its north-
south axis, which is terminated by the two poles.

DIRECTION COURSE
Course is the intended horizontal direction of travel. HEADING
Heading is the horizontal direction in which an aircraft is pointed. TRACK
Actual horizontal direction made by the aircraft over the earth. BEARING
Horizontal direction of one terrestrial point from another.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
DIRECTION True Direction / Heading The true heading (TH) is the direction in which the
nose of the aircraft points during a flight when measured in degrees clockwise from true north
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
DIRECTION Magnetic Direction / Heading Since the earth magnetic pole
(north magnetic pole is located close to 71° N latitude, 96° W longitude and is about 1,300 miles) displaced from the geographic or true north pole, there will be slight difference in heading when we travel near the pole.

DIRECTION Variation Effect of variation to the compass
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
DIRECTION Deviation Due to magnetic
influences within an aircraft such as electrical circuits, radio, lights, tools, engine, and magnetized metal parts, the compass needle is frequently deflected from its normal reading.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION

DISTANCE Rhumb Line Rhumb line is a line
crossing all meridians of longitude at the same angle.
In a map, rhumb line distance will look like this :
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
DISTANCE Rhumb Line In reality the rhumb line will
make a spiral path on its track. WHY? Because earth is a sphere, there
will be a gradient of latitude and longitude as we moved near the pole.
The gradient will make the angle that intercept the meridian steeper, so it seems like spiraling around the earth.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
DISTANCE Calculating Rhumb line distance Here we can count the rhumb line distance :

TIME In celestial navigation, navigators determine the
aircraft’s position by observing the celestial bodies. The apparent position of these bodies changes with time.
Time is measured by the rotation of the earth and the resulting apparent motions of the celestial bodies.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
TIME As Earth rotate, sun appears to move from east to
west. The sun travels at a constant rate, covering 360° of
arc in 24 hours. The mean sun transits the same meridian twice in 24 hours. The following relationships exists between time and arc:
Time Arc360° of arc = 24 hours 15° of arc = 1 hour
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
TIME Time Zone The world is divided into 24
zones, each zone being 15° of longitude wide.
Since the time is earlier in the zones west of Greenwich, the numbers of these zones are plus.
In the zones east of Greenwich, the numbers are minus because the time is later.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
TIME GMT Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used
for most celestial computations.
Also labeled as UTC or Z time.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
TIME Local Time local mean time (LMT) is
mean solar time measured with reference to the observer’s meridian.
measured from the lower branch of the observers meridian, westward through 360°

TIME Time Conversion Since we can conclude our local time from longitude, we can
also count the conversion of time with this rule :360° of arc = 24 hours 15° of arc = 1 hour1° of arc = 4 minutes 15‘ of arc = 1 minute1‘ of arc = 4 seconds15” of arc = 1 seconds

ALTITUDE ISA A certain condition where the pressure is calculated
at MEAN SEA LEVEL indicated 1,013.25 hPa (or 29.92 In.Hg) with average temperature calculated 15ºC or 59ºF.
How could we manage to measure the exact pressure at MSL?
We use Barometer. Mercury Barometer Aneroid Barometer
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
ALTITUDE ALTIMETRY – Aneroid Barometer
mechanism The altimeter measures the height
of the airplane above a given pressure level.
Since altimeter is a modification from aneroid barometer, the main component is also the same. It contain sealed aneroid wafers which expand and contract with changes in atmospheric pressure from the static source.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
ALTITUDE Types of Altitude Indicated Altitude
the value of altitude that is displayed on the pressure altimeter. True Altitude
The vertical distance of the airplane above sea level. The actual altitude. expressed as feet above mean sea level (MSL).
Absolute AltitudeThe vertical distance of an airplane above the terrain, or above ground level (AGL).
Pressure Altitude (PA)The height above the standard datum plane (29.92 "Hg and 15 °C) is PA.

SPEED ISA (International Standard Atmosphere ) A certain condition where the pressure is calculated at
MEAN SEA LEVEL indicated 1,013.25 hPa (or 29.92 In.Hg) with average temperature calculated 15ºC or 59ºF.
Airspeed is the speed of the aircraft in relation to the air mass surrounding that aircraft.
It is necessary to know whether we have sufficient dynamic pressure to create lift, but not enough to cause damage, and velocity is necessary for navigation.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
SPEED Pitot-Static System Accurate airspeed measurement is obtained by
means of a pitot-static system. The system consists of:1. A tube mounted parallel to the longitudinal axis of
the aircraft in an area that is free of turbulent air generated by the aircraft
2. A static source that provides still, or undisturbed, air pressure.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
SPEED Pitot-Static System The heart of the airspeed indicator is a
diaphragm that is sensitive to pressure changes.
it located inside the indicator case and connected to the ram air source in the pitot tube.
The indicator case is sealed airtight and connected to the static pressure source.
The differential pressure created by the relative effects of the impact and static pressures on the diaphragm causes it to expand or contract.
As the speed of the aircraft increases, the impact pressure increases, causing the diaphragm to expand. Through mechanical linkage, the expansion is displayed as an increase in airspeed.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
SPEED Indicated airspeed (IAS) IAS is the uncorrected reading taken from the face of
the indicator. It is the airspeed that the instrument shows on the
dial.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
SPEED Basic airspeed (BAS) Basic airspeed (BAS) is the IAS corrected for instrument
error. Each airspeed indicator has its own characteristics that
cause it to differ from any other airspeed indicator. These differences may be caused by slightly different
hairspring tensions, flexibility of the diaphragm, accuracy of the scale markings, or even the effect of temperature.
It is considered negligible or is accounted for in technical order tables and graphs.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
SPEED Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) Calibrated airspeed (CAS) is basic airspeed corrected
for pitot-static error or attitude of the aircraft. This can be called position error.
As the flight attitude of the aircraft changes, the pressure at the static inlets changes. This is caused by the airstream striking the inlet at an angle.
Different types and locations of installations cause different errors.
Can also called Rectified Airspeed (RAS)
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
SPEED Equivalent Airspeed (EAS) Equivalent airspeed is CAS corrected for
compressibility error. Compressibility becomes noticeable when the
airspeed is great enough to create an impact pressure that causes the air molecules to be compressed within the impact chamber of the pitot tube.
Since the speed of piston engine aircraft is slightly far from reaching Mach speed, the EAS can be regarded the same with IAS.
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION
SPEED True Airspeed (TAS) TAS is equivalent airspeed that has been corrected for
pressure altitude (PA) and true air temperature (TAT) this called density error.
How to calculate TAS? RULE OF THUMB : TAS = IAS ( 1+Altitude/1000 ft x 2%)
Effect of TAS with altitude?
OBJECTIVE :DEFINE NAVIGATION

SPEED Ground Speed (GS) The actual speed of the airplane over the ground. It is
true airspeed adjusted for wind. Groundspeed decreases with a headwind, and increases with a tailwind.
