DOUBLING THE ANGLE
AT THE BOW
 AIM

TO LEARN THE FIXING TECHNIQUE USING RADIO AIDS.

 OBJECTIVE

TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO CALCULATE RANGE BY

DOUBLING THE ANGLE AT THE BOW.
 TIE IN & REVISION

 R = GT/ 60 

 ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
 PROOF OF FORMULA

DOUBLING THE ANGLE AT THE BOW

 EFFECTS OF DRIFT

IF DRIFT IS BEING ENCOUNTERED, THE RBI NEEDLE IS TO BE SHIFTED

CLOCKWISE FOR STBD DRIFT AND ANTICLOCKWISE FOR PORT DRIFT.
THIS SHIFT IS FROM THE VALUES OF RELATIVE BEARING THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN USED IN CASE OF NIL DRIFT.
 FACTORS AFFECTING
ACCURACY
 RELATIVE BEARINGS ARE INDICATED AND
NOTED.

 THE TIME DIFFERENCE FOR THE BEARING

CHANGE IS NOTED.

 THE GROUND SPEED IS CALCULATED.

CONDITION FOR USAGE DAB

 IT IS PREFERABLE TO NOTE 90(R) AND 270(R)

AS IT GIVES ACCURATE G/S.

 DOUBLING THE ANGLE AT BOW IS TO BE USED

WHEN THE RANGE FROM BEACON IS EXPECTED TO
BE 20 TO 40 NM.
 SUMMARY

 PROOF OF RANGE BY DOUBLING THE ANGLE

AT BOW

 EFFECT OF DRIFT

 FACTORS AFFECTING ACCURACY

 CONDITIONS FOR USAGE

 QUESTION TO THE CLASS

DOUBLING THE ANGLE OF BOW IS BASED ON THE

PRINCIPLE OF________

ANS: ISOSCELES TRIANGLE

 HOME ASSIGNMENTS

ON A HEADING OF 355 º (T), FIRST BEARING FOR DAB

325 º (T) WINDS ARE 330/20 KNOTS AND AIRCRAFT
SPEED IS 180 KNOTS, FIND SECOND BEARING
(RELATIVE)?
