Navigation Errors and Corrections

The video tutorial explains the one in 60 rule, a navigation tool used to correct flight paths. It provides three examples of flights with different distances, demonstrating how to calculate track errors and correction angles to ensure a direct path to the destination. The rule states that for every mile off track after flying 60 miles, the track error is one degree. The tutorial shows how to adjust the heading to correct the path and reach the destination accurately.

What is the primary purpose of the One in 60 Rule?

• To calculate fuel consumption

• To determine altitude changes

• To correct navigation errors

• To estimate flight time

In the first example, how far is the planned flight?

• 88 miles

• 120 miles

• 60 miles

• 50 miles

If you are one mile off track after flying 60 miles, what is your track error?

• One degree

• Two degrees

• Three degrees

• Four degrees

What is the correction angle needed if you are one mile off track with 60 miles to go?

• Three degrees

• Two degrees

• One degree

• Four degrees

What is the combined heading correction needed in the first example?

• Two degrees to the right

• One degree to the right

• Three degrees to the right

• Four degrees to the right

In the second example, how far is the lake from home?

• 20 miles

• 30 miles

• 50 miles

• 60 miles

How many miles off track are you in the second example?

• Four miles

• One mile

• Three miles

• Two miles

What is the track error for a 20-mile flight if you are three miles off track?

• Nine degrees

• Three degrees

• Twelve degrees

• Six degrees

What is the correction angle needed if you are three miles off track with 30 miles to go?

• Six degrees

• Nine degrees

• Twelve degrees

• Fifteen degrees

What is the combined heading correction needed in the second example?

• Nine degrees to the right

• Twelve degrees to the right

• Eighteen degrees to the right

• Fifteen degrees to the right
