AVIA102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Tactical Air Navigation System
Document Summary
Important to cross check instruments after recovery from an unusual attitude to make sure instruments are reading accurately and so that you don"t enter another one. Recovering from a dive airspeed should stop increasing/decreasing if it goes from one to another you over corrected. Spin: use wings on tc to determine direction of spin, idle power, neutralize the ailerons, full opposite rudder, break stall, ease out of the dive and add power when safe. Spiral dive: if extremely high speed, ease out of the dive is very important ( put forward pressure because the nose wants to shoot upward and since you are above va, the wings will snap off) Principles of operation: phase difference of two signals, frequencies from 108. 1 to 117. 95, relatively free of static and interference (ie. precipitation) Interference can be caused by fm radios/ calculators/ cell phones. At high altitude vor indications can be received upto 150-200nm.
