9.6.2 Overview – all together

It can be a bit difficult to keep the different concepts separate, so here is a
general overview.

The influence of the wind has not been taken
into account here.

If there is wind, there will be a difference

between Track and Heading.

More on this later.

9.6.3 Measuring routes on the map

Now we are moving on to the more practical section. We imagine a short flight

from EKHG (Herning Airport) to EKSD (Spjald airfield). We have drawn the route

on the map, and we now need to prepare an operational flight plan that

describes the route.

9.6.3.1 True Track

By placing the plotter on top of the map, so that the ruler is aligned with the

o
drawn route, and 0 on the plotter matches a central meridian (a vertical black
line), the course can be read on the

plotter at the intersection between
the circle and ruler in the direction

we are going to fly.

o
If you get it to 254 , it is not completely crooked. So True Track (TT) is 254°
