How does the Vor work for us to find the direction?
Vor is an abbreviated form of VHF Omni-directional Range and is a kind of radio navigation system for aircraft that emanates two types of signals - one directional and the other a 360 degree radial omni-directional. The Phase comparison gives what radial you are on by the position of the needle while DME determines the distance based on timing. It kind of works like a GPS.
How loud is a jet?
A jet at 100 m distance can have a sound pressure level of L = 140 dBSPL.Never forget to tell the distance of the measuring microphone from the sound source, because the closer you are the louder it is.The sound pressure level decreases by 6 dB per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value.The sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source.
What is radio echo method?
Radio echo method is used for measuring the distance of heavenly bodies. Radio signals are sent towards a planet. These signals are reflected back from the surface of the planet. The time (t) taken for the signal in going to the planet and coming back to earth is noted. The signal travels through a velocity (c).The distance (s) of the planet from Earth is given by,s = ct/2
What are short radio waves used for?
Shortwave radio is used for broadcasting of voice and music to shortwave listeners, and long-distance communication to ships and aircraft, or to remote areas out of reach of wired communication or other radio services. Additionally, it is used for two-way international communication by amateur radio enthusiasts for hobby, educational and emergency purposes.
What is the Road Distance from Kampala Uganda to Entebbe Uganda?
The distance is 39km.
What is an area navigation?
An aircraft navigation system in which radial and distance information from a Vortac station or distance information from two or more Vortacs is used to fix aircraft position, so that navigation is not restricted to airways or direct routes between stations.
What is DME?
DME is Distance Measuring Equipment. It is an electronic device located in an aircraft that can measure the distance between that aircraft's location and a point sending out a signal.
What is a system of navigation in which finds position by measuring the course and distance sailed from some known point?
Triangulation.
What is the system of navigation in which a navigator finds a position by measuring the distance of a course sailed from some other known point to that position?
Triangulation.
What is RNAV?
RNAV is Radio Navigation ("nav"). It is a form of electronic navigation that uses DME and other signals to form a point in the distance that an aircraft can fly to even though there is no actual signal coming from that point.
How do you tell a distance without measuring?
Anything with relative distance to the measuring distance. Such as a shadow to a building.
What is manufactured in the Navigation Systems and Equipment industry?
beacons, transponders, collision warning systems, inertial navigation systems, radio compasses and direction-finders, autopilots, data systems/flight recorders, distance measuring equipment, pilots' "heads-up" instrument displays (HUD
How can you determine a waves wavelength?
by measuring the distance from crest to crest
When measuring one point to another what are you measuring?
When measuring one point to another point you are measuring distance.
Unit of distance in measuring land?
league of measuring land

How is mathematics used in Aircraft Navigation?
When navigating math is most commonly used to calculate distance, speed, and time. It is possible to estimate time of arrival, if you know the distance and the speed you are traveling. It is possible to estimate how fast you are traveling, if you know the time and the distance. It is also possible to estimate how far you have gone, if you know your speed and your time.
