VFR TEST Flashcards
TC definition
Measured from true North clockwise to the proposed flight path
DC: drift correction
The correction applied to prevent drifting off course
Th: true heading
The angle measured clock wise from true North nose of the to the aircraft
Tr: track
The actual flight path over the ground
Da: drift angle
The angular difference between Th and tr
IAS : indicated airspeed
Airspeed indicated on instrument
What referente provides instations for filing light plan?
1801 / GP
VAR / variation
Angular difference between true North and magnetic North
MH / magnetic heading
Measured from magnetic North to nose of aircraft
How is fuel listed on 1801?
Hours: minutes for time until burnout
Radio callsign for Army aircraft
“R” for Army and last 5 tailnumber
