Title: Simulate the navigation of aircraft, using instrumentation.
Course: Aerospace Technology II (21055-II) > Section: Understanding Aircraft Operations

Simulation should include weather data and using various navigation methods:

- Global positioning system (GPS)
- Pilotage and dead reckoning
- Map interpretation/topography
- Ground-based navigational aids (e.g., Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range [VOR], automatic direction finder [ADF])
- Magnetic variation

Navigation instrumentation should use or produce the following data or actions:

- Coordinates
- Vectors
- Airspeed
- Altitude
- Detection (air or ground)
- Inertia (through inertial navigation systems)
- Broadcasts for aircraft location (through beacons—Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range/Tactical Air Navigation [VORTAC])

Process/Skill Questions:

- How has navigation and navigation instrumentation evolved?
