Two types of Navigation Rules • VFR-Visual Flight Rules-pilot by see and avoid concept( small airports) • IFR-Instrument Flight Rules-pilot by ILS
Ground Based Navigation-VOR • Use VHF omni-range (VOR) radio beacons(108 to 118 Mhz) to guide aircraft safely to their destinations. • Many Ground Stations on VHF use LOS • Communication between Aircraft and ATC through VHF Freq. (108.1 through 117.95 MHz) with VOR fitted on the Aircraft • Ground Based System give heading when the aircraft remains in the same track envelope
GPS Measure • Precise Position of Aircraft in 3 Directions, X,Y & Z in Degrees • Position of Aircraft in Dynamic time with nanosecond accuracy • Velocity of the Aircraft through Doppler Frequency • GPS calculates Aircraft position by timing the signals sent by the GPS Satellites high above the Earth • 3 satellites enough to fix aircrafts position
