Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?
Why would someone fly a Rhumb Line track?
-
If no IRS/INS/GPS was available, it’s easier to fly a constant heading (but you will need to apply variation).
-
If flying over short distances (as done during your training) the error introduced by flying a rhumb line is insi
How does an IRS work?
How does an IRS work?
An IRS is an Inertial Reference System which consists of accelerometers, gyroscopes (laser) and a position computer.
The computer calculates the aircrafts position by direction and velocity sensed by the accelerometers from the initial latitude and longitude input.
An IRS enables the aircraft to fly great circle tracks and to navigate accurately across vast expanses where no ground based navigation aids are available.

On A high wing anhedral airplane, like a BAE146, and a high wing straight winged aircraft like a Fokker 50, why they don’t have dihedral wings if it has so many advantages?
On A high wing anhedral airplane, like a BAE146, and a high wing straight winged aircraft like a Fokker 50, why they don’t have dihedral wings if it has so many advantages?
A high wing location like the BAE and the Fokker give a natural stable contribution.
This is because the Center of Gravity is underneath the wing, therefore when disturbed the C.G. provides a positive momentum opposite to the distortion.
