Flight Reference

uses pitot-static pressure to indicate altitude above sea level

uses radio echoes to determine altitude above ground level.

is defined as the angular position or bearing in a horizontal plane usually measured clockwise from true north

is defined as angular position of an object with respect to a reference point or line

is defined as actual orientation of the aircrafts longitudinal axis at any instance

is the direction of true north

uses the direction of the earths magnetic field at that location as the reference

uses the current direction that an object is facing at the 0/360 azimuth alignment

Very-High Frequency

Ultra-High Frequency

To communicate with other aircraft, ground stations, shipping traffic and coastal stations

Anti-Jam Radio

Intercommunication Audio System

to provide amplification and routing of audio signals between cockpit, ground crew and rear cockpit

Tactical Air Navigation

is to determine the relative bearing and slant range distance to a TACAN ground station or a similar TACAN equipped aircraft

Global Positioning System

a navigation system that receives reference information from a satellite source

Altitude Reference Indicator

a self-contained pitch and roll ARI with an electrically driven gyro maintains vertical orientation through use of an electronic erection system

Instrument Landing System

an all weather approach guidance system that provides steering information during an aircraft approach by decoding azimuth and elevation microwave signals received from surface transmitters

measures temperature, and pitot and static pressures surrounding the aircraft

Automatic Flight Control System

to provide autopilot and automatic throttle control

Automatic Throttle Control

displays airspeed as a function of pitot and static pressure.

10 knots increments from 50-200 knots
