    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_navigation

    Civilian flight navigators (a mostly redundant aircrew position, also called 'air navigator' or 'flight navigator'), were employed on older aircraft, typically between the late-1910s and the 1970s. The crew member, occasionally two navigation crew members for some flights, was responsible for the trip navigation, including its dead reckoning ...

  3. Attitude indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator

    The Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI), or Flight Director Indicator (FDI), is an AI integrated with a Flight Director System (FDS). The ADI incorporates a computer that receives information from the navigation system, such as the AHRS, and processes this information to provide the pilot with a 3-D flight trajectory cue to maintain a desired path.

  4. GPS aircraft tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Aircraft_Tracking

    GPS aircraft tracking is a means of tracking the position of an aircraft fitted with a satellite navigation device.By communication with navigation satellites, detailed real-time data on flight variables can be passed to a server on the ground.

  5. Chandelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandelle

    The turn needs to be kept coordinated by applying the correct amount of rudder throughout the maneuver. From a practical point of view, the chandelle may be used to turn an aircraft within a minimal turn radius. As such it is a useful maneuver for pilots of small aircraft who find themselves in a blind valley or canyon.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_map_display

    Aviation moving map apps include extensive in-flight information such as other nearby aircraft. Weather and other data is also available and may be depicted on the moving map. Some sophisticated apps, even including 3D display options for this purpose are available free, without subscription fees. [ 5 ]

  8. Airfield traffic pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_traffic_pattern

    A flight path parallel to and in the direction of the landing runway. It is offset from the runway and opposite the downwind leg. Crosswind leg. A short climbing flight path at right angles to the departure end of the runway. Downwind leg. A long level flight path parallel to but in the opposite direction of the landing runway.

  9. Aircraft principal axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_principal_axes

    The position of all three axes, with the right-hand rule for describing the angle of its rotations. An aircraft in flight is free to rotate in three dimensions: yaw, nose left or right about an axis running up and down; pitch, nose up or down about an axis running from wing to wing; and roll, rotation about an axis running from nose to tail.
