I am obviously an English speaker from another country There are other inconsistencies in your posting. For instance, slant range is more commonly used by ground observers, such as those operating radar units tracking an object in the air. No! The term is 'slant range' look up minimums for VFR flight.... Until your posting, I did not know a whizz wheel was like an aeronautic slide rule, with the whiz wheel used to compute your flight plan. But whiz wheels are used with charts for pre-flight course setting, if they are used at all. Pilots have access to electronic flight computers, Garmin GPS devices or the jet's flight computer while airborne. It turns out the primary use of whiz wheels is for the written certification tests pilots take. Try the expression backup. No batteries. Doesn't die if it's dropped. And thanks for telling me what I have to have to navigate VFR ROTFL I have included some definitions below, for you to refer to the next time you post something on flying. Air data dead reckoning does not seem that easy to me, but then, I am not a psychopathic kill crazy Saudi who studied architecture at a Hamburg University. The psychopathic kill crazy Saudi had a Commercial License AFAIR.. |
