Solution:
o
MH: We have the following: MH is therefore 050 .
o
CH: We have the following: Then CH must be 048 .
Task:
o
o
o
Given: Heading gyro shows 340 , variation -4 , Compass shows 344 . Calculate
TH and deviation.
Solution:
o
TH: The heading gyro shows MH, we have: TH is 336 .
o
Deviation: We have: The deviation is -4 .
Problem:
o
o
o
Given: Variation 4 E, MH 034 , deviation -3 . What does the magnetic compass
(CH) show and what course is set on the flight chart (TH)?
Solution:
o
We have: CH = 037 and TH = 038 o
9.6.3.5 Heading and track
When we fly in a certain direction, we say that our heading is a number of
degrees.
The heading is the direction the nose of
the aircraft is pointing.
In calm and direct tailwinds and
headwinds, heading and track coincide.
In crosswinds, heading and track are
different.
