Earth Coordinates: Coordinates referenced to the earth.
Elevation: An angle in the vertical plane through a longitudinal axis; height above mean sea level, usually references terrain.
COORDINATES- The intersection of lines of reference, usually expressed in degrees/minutes/seconds of latitude and longitude, used to determine position or location.
Coordinates: System per a map for location.
"Copy": R/T acknowledgement for "Received and understood."
CORKSCREW: Code name for Allied air assault operation in preparation for the Invasion of Italy.
CoS: US Chiefs of Staff ...
A waypoint is a 3-dimensional point in space and/or time in which a set of coordinates is defined. They are most commonly used for flight navigation.
Ground Coordinates:
Aircraft: N16581 (16582.074), E16507 (16506.994)
Tower: N16581.994, EI6507.046
Altitude:
Aircraft: 0 (simulator will set to approx. 785)
Tower: 782 (recheck after entering all parameters)
Heading: 180 ...
The geographic coordinates are at the airport reference point (ARP) shown as a circle with a +. The letter K now prefaces every three-letter airport designator. Airport elevation is the highest useable runway surface.
Since aircraft must occasionally taxi across an active runway, ground control coordinates its instructions with tower control, which oversees all movements across or along runways.
Coordinates reported by GPS (latitudes, longitudes, and elevation) are in reference to a best fit ellipsoid developed with sophisticated laser and radar techniques.
Location, usually in fixed earth coordinates such latitude and longitude; location, either scalar or vector, often with subscripts such as ENU or XYZ to denote source or coordinate frame; time integral of velocity; Symbols: p,P,x,y,z; ...
The next entry found on the first line of text is the latitude and longitude coordinates for Wittman Regional Airport. The last item on this text line is the word CHICAGO, which tells us the airport is located on the Chicago Sectional Chart.
Random RNAV routes. Direct routes, based on area navigation capability, between waypoints defined in terms of latitude/longitude coordinates, degree-distance fixes, or offsets from established routes/airways at a specified distance and direction.
Waypoint - A predetermined geographical position that is defined in terms of latitude/longitude coordinates. See also Fly-By Waypoint and Fly-Over Waypoint.
Yearly Day-Night Average Sound Level - see DNL.
You have two options for performance output; the Data option gives the computed lift and flow conditions, the Geom option shows the coordinates of the airfoil geometry and the local value of velocity and pressure.
Forces the tail left or right, correspondingly "yawing" the aircraft right or left. Rudder movement "coordinates" with the banking of wings to balance a turn. Controlled by left and right rudder (foot) pedals.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - An information system that is designed for storing, integrating, manipulating, analyzing, and displaying data referenced by spatial or geographic coordinates.
waypoint
A predetermined geographical position used for route/instrument approach definition, or progress reporting purposes, that is defined relative to a VORTAC station or in terms of latitude/longitude coordinates ...
Take notes, if you'd like, or print out images of different constellations, as well as their coordinates, and bring them with you as a reference when you go out stargazing. Knowing what you are looking at will make the experience that much more fun.
The INS is aligned just before launch at a point on the taxiway (called the 'hammerhead') of which the coordinates are known.
