Cardinal headings
North, South, East and West
Intercardinal headings
North-east, North-west, South-east, South-west
Distance between the Equator and either pole
10.000 km
Circumference of the earth in km and NM
40.000km and 21.600 NM
The shape of the earth
Oblate Spheroid - a sphere which is slightly flattened at its poles.
1 NM =
1 bueminut
Direction skrives altid i x decimaler?
Undtagelsen?
3 decimaler, med undtagelse af RWY direction (Mag)
Hvordan regnes reciprocal directions?
Mindre end 180 C = +200 -20
Mere end 180 C = -200 + 20
Reciprocal direction of 135 C
135+200 = 335
335-20 = 315 C
Reciprocal direction of 017 C
017+200 = 217
217-20 = 197 C
Reciprocal direction of 195 C
195-200 = -005
-005+20 = 015 C
Reciprocal direction of 255 C
255-200 = 055
055+20 = 075 C
The Great Circle
A circle on the surface of the earth whose centre and radius are those of the earth itself.
En cirkel hvis plan går gennem jordens centrum og deler jorden i 2 lige store dele.
Equator
The Great Circle whose plane is at 90 C to the axis of rotation of the earth.
Den storcirkel, hvis plan går gennem jordens centrum og står vinkelret på jordens rotaionsakse.
Parallels of latitude
A small circles on the surface of the earth, whose planes are parallel to the equator.
Cirkler på jordens overflade, hvis plan er parallel med ækvators.
Hvad indikerer parallels of latitude?
En position nord eller syd for ækvator.
Latitude
The latitude of any point is the arc measured along the meridian through the point from the equator to the point.
How is latitude expressed?
In degrees, minutes and seconds and annotated N or S.
Eg. 56*17’51” N or 561751N
Meridians
Semi-Great circles joining the south and north poles.
Every Great Circle passing through the poles forms a meridian and its anti-meridian.
Prime Meridian
The meridian passing through Greenwich.
It’s the reference point for the 0 degree line of the longitude.
All points on the meridian will have the fixed value of 0 degrees E.
The meridian passing through Greenwich
Prime Meridian
Small circle
A circle on the surface of the earth whose centre and radius are not those of the earth.
