3 OFFs | |||
---|---|---|---|
Bearing Off, Distance Off, Time Off A method of checking leg tracking and timing at the mid leg check point during navigation BEARING OFF - At your mid leg check point assess your location compared to the check point and estimate the difference in bearing from the start waypoint. DISTANCE OFF - Estimate the Distance Off of track using the 1 in 60 Rule. TIME OFF - Note hoe the time abeam the check point compares to the planned time From these three Offs the aircraft can be flown back onto track or flown directly to the end leg waypoint. Also an assessment of the time of arrival at the leg end waypoint can be made or the aircraft speed changed to maintain a time over the waypoint. | |||

Attitude Indicator The main instrument of understanding the aircraft‘s attitude with respect to earth’s surface. It is a gyro (or graphical representation) driven by either:
It is normally mounted centrally on an aircraft main instrument panel. It can be implemented as graphics within a “glass cockpit”. Further Information: Wikipedia | |||

Clock Code | |||
---|---|---|---|
Clock Code This has two meanings depending upon its application. Lookout - When applied to Lookout, Clock Code is a method of identifying an azimuth direction from the aircraft. Directions from the aircraft begin from 12 O’clock being directly ahead with 6 O’clock being directly astern. E.g. 4 O’clock indicates a direction past the abeam on the right side of the aircraft. Drift - When applied to Drift, Clock Code is a method of mental arithmetic to estimate the Sin() function. The difference between the wind direction and the aircraft‘s flight path is compared to minutes of a clock. The resulting potion of the hour is the portion of Max Drift to be used to estimate the angular correction to make to offset the aircraft‘s heading and so allow for drift, thus keeping the aircraft on track. E.g. 30˚ implies 30 minutes which is half an hour and so half the Max Drift should be applied towards the wind for the aircraft to maintain the desired track. | |||

Heading, Altitude, Time A method of conducting a turn at a waypoint during navigation. This occurs twice, Before the turning point is the Pre-HAT and after the turning point is the Post-HAT Pre-HAT HEADING - Having seen the turning point (or planning to turn on time) Check the next heading from your navigation plan. Adjust this heading for drift using Max Drift and Clock Code. ALTITUDE - Check if there is a required change of altitude for the next leg and the associated Safety Altitude. TIME - If running individual leg timing, reset the clock. If running continuous timing for the route, note the time at the waypoint. At the waypoint, Restart the clock (if required), Lookout and Turn.... JUST Lookout and Turn until rolling out on heading. Do NOTHING else. Post-HAT HEADING - After rolling out, check you have rolled out on your wind adjusted heading. ALTITUDE - Adjust your altitude for the next leg. TIME - Ensure the clock is running or if you forgot to note the time at the waypoint take the time now and add a few second for the turn.

Eine Methode speziell zum Abflachen von einem Aufstieg. HALTUNG - Tonhöhe von der Steigfluglage zur Geradeaus- und Geradeausfluglage, die für die erforderliche Geschwindigkeit erwartet wird. LEISTUNG - Stellen Sie den Gashebel so ein, dass die erwartete Leistung für die gewünschte Geschwindigkeit erreicht wird. TRIMMEN - Trimmen Sie das Flugzeug in der Neigung, um die Knüppelkräfte so gering wie möglich zu halten, damit das Flugzeug die gewählte Haltung beibehält und nur minimale Eingaben von Ihnen macht. | |||

Lookout, Attitude, Instruments A method of maintaining a good Lookout whilst ensuring the aircraft maintain the desired altitude, heading and speed. LOOKOUT - This is completed in two stages, beginning with the Right hemisphere. Look as deep into your 5 o’clock as you can and scan fully up and down whilst progressing you Lookout back to the ahead. ATTITUDE - Whilst looking ahead assess you aircraft‘s attitude to the horizon. Ensure it remain where you desired. INSTRUMENTS - Check that this attitude is maintain your chosen flight path by checking the instruments:

Limitation, Operation, Indication A method of ensuring aircraft limitations are not exceeded when changing aircraft configuration. LIMITATION - Before operating any control that will change the configuration of the aircraft like the Flaps, check that the aircraft is within the limitations for that configuration change. OPERTION - Select the new configuration. INDICATION - Check that the configuration change has been successful by the control indicator. E.g. If the Landing Gear speed limitation is 175 kts the process is:

Max Drift | |||
---|---|---|---|
Max Drift A method of assessing the effect of wind on the aircraft drift from track. MAX DRIFT - The maximum drift an aircraft will suffer from a wind directly abeam the flight path. This is estimated by taking the windspeed and dividing it by the aircraft’s speed in nm / minute. E.g. An aircraft flying at 240 kts is covering 4 nm / minute. With a wind from directly abeam with a speed of 20 kts the aircraft will suffer a drift of 5˚. 20 / 4 = 5 See also: Clock Code | |||

Außenlufttemperatur Die Temperatur der Luft um das Flugzeug. Niedrige Temperaturen führen dazu, dass die Luft dichter wird und so aussieht, als würde das Flugzeug bei der Beurteilung mit einem barometrischen Höhenmesser niedriger fliegen. Die durchschnittliche Lufttemperatur auf Meereshöhe für die ICAO-Standardatmosphäre beträgt 15 ° Wiki: Außenlufttemperatur | |||

Progressively Adjust the Attitude and Trim PROGRESSIVELY ADJUST the ATTITUDE - As an aircraft accelerates from a Climbing speed to a Straight and Level speed the lift initially generated by the initial attitude of attack increases as the speed increase. If attention is not paid to this the aircraft will begin to climb. The attitude will need to be progressively reduced as the speed increases. and TRIM - At each stage of attitude change the trim will need to be adjusted to ensure the aircraft maintain the new attitude with minimal input from you. | |||

Power, Attitude, Trim A method of changing airspeed whilst maintaining level flight, or levelling off from a descent. POWER - Adjust the throttle to give the expected required power for the new Straight and Level speed. ATTITUDE - Adjust the aircraft in pitch to the expected attitude for that speed. TRIM - Trim any stick forces to a minimum so that the aircraft maintains the new attitude with minimal attention from you. | |||
