"DR" stands for Dead Reckoning, a method of navigation that involves calculating your current position based on your previous position, speed, time, and course. It is used when navigating without visual or electronic aids.
VOR stations are used to provide aircraft with a reference for determining their position relative to a specific VOR station. This helps pilots in navigation by allowing them to track their bearing to or from the VOR station.
To calculate the true heading, you adjust your true course by applying the wind correction angle. If the wind is coming from the left, you subtract the wind correction angle from your true heading to maintain your desired course.
A waypoint is a designated geographic location with specific coordinates that is used to define a route or track in GPS navigation. Pilots use waypoints to follow a planned flight path or to navigate from one location to another.
True North refers to the direction towards the Earth's geographic North Pole, while Magnetic North refers to the direction indicated by the Earth's magnetic field. The difference between these two directions is known as magnetic variation or declination, which is important for accurate navigation.
