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
