Tap an option and the page marks it. The right answer is shown either way.
Question 1
If an aircraft is 3° off its required track at a range of 120 NM, how far in nautical miles is the aircraft off the required track? Use the 1:60 rule: Distance off track = Angle × Distance flown ÷ 60
Question 2
If an aircraft is 2 NM off its required track at a range of 40 NM, what is the track error angle? Use the 1:60 rule: Angle = Distance off track × 60 ÷ Distance flown
Question 3
An aircraft leaves A to fly to B total distance 95 (NM). After flying 35 NM, the aircraft is found to be 7 NM RIGHT of track. What is the track error?
Question 4
An aircraft leaves A to fly to B total distance 95 (NM). After flying 35 NM, the aircraft is 7 NM RIGHT of track. What alteration of heading is required to fly DIRECT to B from the present position?
Question 5
An aircraft leaves A to fly to B. After flying 35 NM it is found 7 NM right of track. What is the drift? Trap question!
Every question comes with a worked solution, and many come with an animation that flies the problem.
