42. Radio Navigation
1. Communicate, AIM
2. Navigational Aids

43. PILOTAGE
is navigation by reference to landmarks or checkpoints. It is a method of navigation that can be used on any course that has adequate checkpoints.

44. 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 windspeed and velocity, are heading and groundspeed. The predicted heading will guide the airplane along the intended path and the groundspeed will establish the time to arrive at each checkpoint and the destination.

45. VERY HIGH FREQUENCY (VHF) OMNIDIRECTIONAL RANGE (VOR) The VOR system is present in three slightly different navigation aids (NAVAIDs): VOR, VOR/DME, and VORTAC. By itself it is known as a VOR, and it provides magnetic bearing information to and from the station. When DME is also installed with a VOR, the NAVAID is referred to as a VOR/DME.

46. The word “omni” means all, and an omnidirectional range is a VHF radio transmitting ground station that projects straight line courses (radials) from the station in all directions. From a top view, it can be visualized as being similar to the spokes from the hub of a wheel. The distance VOR radials are projected depends upon the power output of the transmitter.

47. The course or radials projected from the station are referenced to magnetic north. Therefore, a radial is defined as a line of magnetic bearing extending outward from the VOR station. Radials are identified by numbers beginning with 001, which is 1°east of magnetic north, and progress in sequence through all the degrees of a circle until reaching 360. To aid in orientation, a compass rose reference to magnetic north is superimposed on aeronautical charts at the station location.

108°.
281°.

52. (Refer to figure 22.) What course should be selected on the omnibearing selector (OBS) to make a direct flight from Mercer County Regional Airport (area 3) to the Minot VORTAC (area 1) with a TO indication?
359°.
179°.
001°.

53. AUTOMATIC DIRECTION FINDER
To navigate using the ADF, the pilot tunes the receiving equipment to a ground station known as a NONDIRECTIONALRADIOBEACON (NDB). The NDB stations normally operate in a low or medium frequency band of 200 to 415 kHz. (AM Radio Stations)

56. (Refer to figure 31, illustration 1

(Refer to figure 30, illustration 1.) Determine the magnetic bearing TO the station.
030°.
180°.
210°.

60. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM - satellite based radio navigation system.
To solve for its location, the GPS receiver utilizes the signals of at least four of the best-positioned satellites to yield a three-dimensional fix (latitude, longitude, and altitude). A two-dimensional fix (latitude and longitude only) can be determined with as few as three satellites.

61. GPS receivers have extensive databases.
Databases are provided initially by the receiver manufacturer and updated by the manufacturer or a designated data agency.
