Flashcards

Pilotage

Navigation using only visual landmarks and an aeronautical chart. No calculations are performed.

Dead Reckoning (DR)

Navigation using calculations based on airspeed, compass heading, wind conditions, and elapsed time. No visual landmarks are used.

Electronic Navigation

Navigation solely through radio and satellite aids such as VOR, ADF, and GPS. No landmarks or calculations are needed.

How does Pilotage differ from Dead Reckoning?

Pilotage relies on visual landmarks, while Dead Reckoning uses calculations.

Study Notes

Three Types of Navigation

  • PILOTAGE: Navigation of the aircraft solely by using an aeronautical chart and reference to visible landmarks. No calculations are taken into consideration.

  • DEAD RECKONING (DR): Navigation of the aircraft solely by means of calculations based on airspeed, compass heading, wind direction and velocity, and elapsed time. No landmarks are taken into consideration!

  • ELECTRONIC NAVIGATION: Navigation of the aircraft solely by use of radio and satellite navigation aids (VOR, ADF, GPS, etc.). No landmarks or calculations are taken into consideration!
