A big bravo for these pilots . Up in the air in dark nights and be able to navigate to where the destination will be situated. Just amazing

@highcrimes9153 5 жыл бұрын

When you’re exiting the aircraft, the pilots will have their door open and they’ll be standing. Tell them that you appreciate what they do.

They go old school and do it by radar vectors from ATC, radio beacons (VOR/NDB), and if all alse fails, dead reckoning (heading and distance from the last known waypoint).

If you see exposed tires (main gear) underneath the plane, its most commonly a Boeing 737.

If few thousand miles distance then a twin cities separate 50 miles is undistinguishable if constructed well therefore each airline must invest in their own well kept secret way point system for safety in these treacherous water. Remember Korean Air 007 got shot over Russia because of thus problem and it now pointed to a secret research of kidnapped air plane without a hitch
