AIR NAVIGATION

Air navigation is one of the main components of the process of organizing and implementing operations in solving air transportation of passengers, cargo, and conducting aerial work.

Knowledge of the provisions of the Air Navigation should be an integral part of a pilot's knowledge in the performance of their professional duties.

Any form of transport can not be done purposeful movement along a predetermined path, without relying on the theory of science, which is called navigation.

Navigation is the science driving along a predetermined path. On the basic principles of this science is based applied science called Air Navigation (Air Navigation).

Air navigation – a set of crew performed to ensure the movement of the aircraft from the starting point to the destination. These actions should provide an accurate and reliable:

• Planning the route of flight in the air space free of obstacles and restricted areas;

• a preliminary calculation of the navigation on the stages of understanding the problem to be flown and the decision to take off;

• knowledge of the location of the sun at any time of the flight to ensure the timely correction of the path;

• timely correction of the estimated flight time points compulsory reporting and accounting of fuel consumption;

• calculation of the navigation elements to ensure safe flight path during the approach.

The ability to solve these problems will ensure the implementation of the task just in time and place, and of course economically secure.

Do you remember the basic tasks of Air Navigation?

So you can imagine how to perform these tasks, consider an example: You need to get from point A to point B - from Kirovograd to Kiev on the car at that time.

- It is necessary to plan a route (which way to go) - the choice of the airway;

- Check-out time / departure depending on the time of arrival and the time on the road, and in the proper way:

- Always know the location on the track, a place where it is necessary to perform a turn;

- Correction of time driving on the highway, fuel economy, if you can refuel on the ground at any time, the lack of fuel in the air can end in tragedy.

I want to note:

- Illiterate, poor planning and preparation for the flight may By gross violations of flight mode, fly in the other direction, landing on another airport, etc.

- Should the pilot always know the location of aircraft?

Yes. He should determine the direction of flight and time when the set point at any time of the flight..

- The most difficult phase of flight is of approach requires a precision maneuver in the narrow path and runway.
