  accurately present the heading of the aircraft. The design uses eddy current damping to minimize lead and lag during turns. Vertical speed indicator (VSI). A rate-of-pressure change instrument that gives an indication of any deviation from a constant ... vertical axis. Also called yawing or directional stability. Very-high frequency (VHF). A band of radio frequencies falling between 30 and 300 MHz. Very-high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR). Electronic navigation equipment in which the flight deck instrument identifies…

  pilot, care must be exercised to ensure that system capabilities are not exceeded. Types of receivers used for GPS navigation under VFR are varied from a full IFR installation being used to support a VFR flight to a VFR only ... limitations of each type of receiver installation or use must be understood by the pilot to avoid misusing navigation information. In all cases, VFR pilots should never rely solely on one system of navigation. GPS navigation must be integrated with…

  Operations (a) GPS navigation has become an asset to VFR pilots by providing increased navigational capabilities and enhanced situational awareness. Although GPS has provided many benefits to the VFR pilot, care must be exercised to ensure that system capabilities ... exceeded. VFR pilots should integrate GPS navigation with electronic navigation (when possible), as well as pilotage and dead reckoning. (b) GPS receivers used for VFR navigation vary from fully integrated IFR/VFR installation used to support VFR operations to hand-held…

  care when retrieving charts and other objects in the flight deck—if something is dropped, retrieve it with minimal head movement and be alert for the coriolis illusion. Graveyard Spiral As in other illusions, a pilot in a prolonged coordinated ... constant-rate turn may experience the illusion of not turning. During the recovery to level flight, the pilot will then experience the sensation of turning in the opposite direction causing the disoriented pilot to return the aircraft to its original…

  Chapter 16: Navigation › Dead Reckoning › Wind Triangle or Vector Analysis

  Dead Reckoning Dead reckoning is navigation solely by means of computations based on time, airspeed, distance, and direction. The products derived from these variables, when adjusted by wind speed and velocity, are heading and GS. The predicted heading takes ... destination. Except for flights over water, dead reckoning is usually used with pilotage for cross-country flying. The heading and GS, as calculated, is constantly monitored and corrected by pilotage as observed from checkpoints. Wind Triangle or Vector Analysis…

This is used for tuning and produces an indication in the direction toward the ADF station at all times. The onboard ADF receiver needs only…
