INTRODUCTIONRADIO AIDS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS : RAN 2204

Do you know what is this subject is all about?

RADIO AIDS & NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS??

INTRODUCTIONRADIO AIDS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS : RAN 2204

What is NAVIGATION?

Navigation is the art and science of getting from one destination to another in the least possible time without losing your way.

Navigation: The process of plan and direct the route of aircraft by using MAPS or NAVIGATIONAL AID SYSTEMS.


Air Navigation – The action of plotting and directing the route of an aircraft through the air from one place to another. Adapted from the United States Air

Force Dictionary.

What is NAVIGATION?RADIO AIDS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS : RAN 2204

Objectives of navigation

Know your position Efficient use of fuel Maintain a flight schedule Avoid other air traffic Avoid ground-to-air missiles Minimize exposure to enemy

radar


1927: Charles LindberghFirst flying across the Atlantic ocean

(New York-Paris) using the Spirit of St. Louis

His journey cover 5,815km and took about 33 and 1/2 hours. Fly without

any navigation instruments

Basic Air Navigation

The type of navigation used by pilots depends on many factors.

The navigation method used depends on Where the pilot is going. How long the flight will take. When the flight is to take off, The expected weather. Type of aircraft. The on-board navigation equipment, The ratings and currency of the pilot.


To navigate a pilot needs to know the following: Starting point (point of departure) and

Ending point (final destination) Direction of travel + The distance Aircraft speed, aircraft fuel capacity Aircraft weight & balance information

With this information flight planning can commence and the proper method of navigation can be put to use.

Basic Air NavigationRADIO AIDS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS : RAN 2204

Ways of Navigation

There are three common ways for aircraft navigation. PILOTAGE DEAD RECKONING RADIO NAVIGATION

The two most fundamental methods of finding your way in an airplane are pilotage - the identification of present position and direction of flight by seeing features on the ground, and Dead Reckoning.


For a non-instrument rated, private pilot planning to fly VFR (Visual Flight Rules) in a small, single engine airplane around the local area on a clear day; the navigation is simple.

PilotageRADIO AIDS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS : RAN 2204

Pilotage is the using known landmarks in an attempt to navigate.

This also is very dangerous unless other navigational tools are employed.

This is because occasionally a suspect known land mark might not be correct.


For hundreds of years the delivery of pilotage has been an act of singular artistry – an extraordinary demonstration of knowledge and skill channeled through one individual – the pilot.


Pilotage

Pilotage: navigation by reference to landmarks or checkpoints

Pilot uses a chart and flies from one visible landmark to another.

Requires relatively low altitudes so that landmarks can be seen and recognized more easily


To a great extent, current pilotage services continue to be delivered in this manner.

Delivering pilotage services in this classical fashion has proven efficient but it has nonetheless been marred with preventable accidents, many of which were due to an inherent weakness - single point failure.

The consequences of some of these accidents have been very serious not only for the ship and its‘ crew but the environment and the individual pilot involved.


Advantages: Easy to understand and perform. No special equipment needed (Just use eyes

capabilities.)


Disadvantages: Direct course is usually impractical as it is

often necessary to follow a zigzag route to well-known landmarks, resulting in longer flights. (See the animation on the next slides).

Let say from AMC you want to go to Taman Tasik Chempaka. Because of limited information of landmarks in B.B.Bangi, your navigation process might end up in zig-zag route such in the diagram. (click mouse to see)

But, if you really know about the landmarks, you will get a straight route to Tmn Tasik Chempaka as shown in Green Arrow. (click mouse to see)

Chempaka

Disadvantages: Sometimes, we might do mistakes in

recognizing any landmarks and lead towards wrong navigation. (Example: Misinterpret between KLCC and KL Tower)


Disadvantages: Not practical to be used during night or

during bad weather as the visibility is limited.


Dead Reckoning

Dead Reckoning is another basic navigational method used by low speed, small airplane pilots.

It is based on mathematical calculations to plot a course using the elements of a course line, airspeed, course, heading and elapsed time.

“Dead Reckoning: navigation of an aircraft solely by

means of computations based on time, airspeed, distance,

and direction.”


Manual or electronic flight computers are used to calculate time-speed-distance measurements, fuel consumption, density altitude and many other en route data necessary for navigation.

The estimated time en route (ETE) can be calculated using the flight distance, the airspeed and direction to be flown.

If the route is flown at the airspeed planned, when the planned flight time is up, the destination should be visible from the cockpit.

Dead ReckoningRADIO AIDS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS : RAN 2204

Navigating now by dead reckoning would be used only as a last resort

Advantages: straighter line courses possible

Disadvantages requires calculations prior to flight may be inaccurate as weather changes rapidly

on some cases More typically, a course is determined and

flown by calculations made from dead reckoning, and then backed up by pilotage during the flight

Dead ReckoningRADIO AIDS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS : RAN 2204

Radio navigation

Radio navigation: the location of the airplane is determined by referring to instruments such as VOR, ADF, or GPS.


Flight ProfileRADIO AIDS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS : RAN 2204

Navigational Aids System

• For En-Route/Cruise, the navigational aids system are:• NDB (Non Directional Beacon) & ADF (Automatic Direction Finding)

• VOR (VHF Omni-directional Range)• DME (Distance Measuring Equipment)

• RADAR(Radio Detection & Ranging)• GPS(Global Positioning System)


Navigational Aids System

• For Approach and Landing, the navigational aids system are:• ILS (Instrument Landing System)• MLS (Microwave Landing System)• ALS (Approach Lighting System)• RADAR(Radio Detection & Ranging)
