The Navigational Plotter was designed for pilots to complete two tasks. The ruler allows pilots to make distance measurements on aeronautical charts. The round part of the plotter is used to measure your true course.

Excellent information Liz. I sure hope that's an erasable marker, unless you have several copies of the chart...lol.

Don't worry we have a magical eraser... Just kidding. It was an extra chart she brought! Thanks for watching! 😀

I took a permanent sharpie and crossed out all of the "weird" scales on the plotter. I won't need the WAC and the cognitive overhead is too high for the others as well.

I can’t figure out how you’re saying “longitude.”

@courtneysawyer8407 Жыл бұрын

Does the protractor part need to be at 0 at the top middle?

@PirateRo333 10 ай бұрын

So, how do you remove the line you drew on the sectional chart? They look to be expensive maps.

@bellwater3363 9 ай бұрын

You don’t, they are usually only 10 bucks and last a few months

@Canadian-Asian-dude 5 ай бұрын

If you want to keep these maps clean, you can put a plastic coating around it and use a dry-erase marker to draw instead.

Normally I would just use that thing to draw planes...now I'll be using it to fly them.

great video, but what can i do if my plotter doesnt have the inner scale numbers, i have a CP-R PLOTTER, hope your answer thx.

@crucius Жыл бұрын

mine also doesn't have one, same question

Buy another one for $7.49.

@kurtreber9813 8 ай бұрын

As you all may have figured by now, it doesn't matter because you can use EITHER a latitude line OR a longitude line. The inner scale numbers are just a minor convenience. Just make sure whatever course you come up with passes the sniff test (just by eyeballing it you can tell if it should be between 0-90, 90-180, 180-270, or 270-360). If the course you come up with was 041 and it was supposed to be between 0-90, then you likely got the correct course).

@garypudup2109 7 ай бұрын

If you have a course that is generally north-south and your plotter doesn't have an inner scale, you may be able to simply draw an extended line until it crosses a line of longitude.

Slow down a bit and give and show more details...that would have to be some close'up camera work...you are very likable just don't rush the lesson so that most new student pilots get it the first time...hope that helps?
