The track plot below shows the first leg of our planned flight between Oxford and Tottenham. The green lines are the 10° drift lines and the pink marks along the track are the 10 nm distance marks.
Tracking Systems
ATC primarily uses radar to keep track of aircraft flying over the United States. Radar transmits radio waves of ultra-high frequency that bounce back to their source when they hit something solid.
track - actual flight path of an aircraft over the ground.
transition altitude (TA) - altitude in the vicinity of an aerodrome at or below which the
vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to altitude, i.e.
Track (TRK): A basic guidance mode, providing lateral guidance to an operator selected ground track.
Transmitter: A device that transmits.
True airspeed (TAS): Airspeed corrected for instrumentation errors and air density.
Tracking to the NDB
Flying toward a NDB requires that you compensate for the wind. Fixed card ADFs do not provide an automatic wind correction (the slaved types do).
track - The actual flight path of an aircraft over the surface of the Earth.
TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach CONtrol) - An air traffic control facility that monitors and directs air traffic through the departure and descent phases of flight.
Tracker
A lightweight radio transmitter carried by some free-flight aircraft to aid their location by means of a highly directional receiver.
Trailing Edge ...
Track: To fly the plane over a straight line to or from a specific location. This can be complicated by winds, compass and arithmetic errors, etc.
Track Select- Occurs following completion of Phase II (Tweets, T-6s, or T-34s but the Navy is kinda special) where you learn what your next follow-on aircraft will be (T-38s, T-1s, T-44s, or Helos) ...
Track Angle: The angle, at any moment, between the track of an aeroplane and the Meridian, measured clockwise from 0 degrees to 360 degrees.
Track (TRK).
A basic guidance mode, providing lateral guidance to an operator selected ground track;
Track angle error (TAE).
A guidance control law parameter, generated by the lateral guidance modes; Typical Units: rad; ...
[edit] Track
A track, also course over ground, is the actual path followed by a moving body, e.g. the vessel's track from A to B in the above given scheme.
FLIGHT TRACK - The average flight path flown by aircraft within specific corridors. Deviation from these tracks occurs because of weather, pilot technique, air traffic control, and aircraft weight.
Flight track utilization - The use of established routes for arrival and departure by aircraft to and from the runways at the airport.
Flight Tracks - Established routes for arrival and departure by aircraft to and from the runways at an airport.
Track is where the aircraft is going. Bearing is the direction to or from a feature or navigation aid.
Bearing can also be expressed relative to the nose of the aircraft via the clock code or as a number of degrees.
Runway Direction ...
Track A course followed across the surface of the earth by the centre of gravity of an aeroplane. This is not always the course set. The track is influenced by wind and pilot error.
Transponder Radio Signal Transmitter ...
TRACK [ICAO]- The projection on the earth's surface of the path of an aircraft, the direction of which path at any point is usually expressed in degrees from North (True, Magnetic, or Grid).

This tracking a VOR radial to a station is the primary means by which pilots the world over navigate from one section of a country to another, and finally to any destination airport.
Keep track of your current position. I know this involves a certain amount of work, but remember: Staying un-lost is easier than getting un-lost. Consider the analogy: don't wait until you have cavities and then start brushing your teeth.
If the tracks aren't parallel they should really be diverging; you can get away with converging headings if you're very, very certain about what you're doing.
The ground track of the base leg should be perpendicular to the runway. Once established on the base leg several things need to be accomplished.

Coast track: Status of an aircraft that is no longer giving a radar return.
The pitch horn is connected to its own individual track rod by a swivel bearing and vertical movement of the track rod will cause the change in blade pitch angle.
Also, as the tail rotor goes through it's own effective translational lift, anti-torque thrust will increase greatly, and the pilot will have to make a pedal adjustment to maintain his skids aligned with the ground track.

Embry-Riddle and NWA will jointly screen candidates for one of two possible tracks: certificated flight instructor to line pilot or aircrew training instructor to line pilot.
He constructed a test track that would allow an aircraft to take off but would then keep it close to the track.
5-mile racetrack of inflatable pylons just 10-30 feet above the water. Their only goal: to be the fastest. The more experienced pilots make it look like no big deal, but the flying-which at times spikes up to 12 G's-is anything but that.
Status Match: A "fast track" to elite status in which an airline will award status in its program based on a member's status in another program, usually because the member is switching.
However, RCN leaders soon realized the Avenger's shortcomings as an ASW aircraft, and in 1954 they elected to replace the AS 3's with S-2 Trackers, which offered longer range, greater load-carrying capacity for electronics and armament, ...
Select a straight stretch of road (or railway track) with easy marks (crossover, bridge, police speed marks, etc.) approximately 3/4 to 1-1/2 miles apart. Check the exact distance (D) on an accurate chart (or with your car, etc.).
ATC primarily uses radar to keep track of aircraft flying over the United States with centers utilizing radar systems with ranges of up to 200 miles.
That part of an instrument approach procedure which commences at the specified final approach fix or point, or where such a fix or point is not specified, at the end of the last procedure turn, base turn or inbound turn of a racetrack procedure, ...

It should remembered, however, that on most of the map distinction is made between one and two-track roads; also that it is easy to make mistakes where branch lines are not shown on the map because they are dead ends leading to private quarries, etc.
Thus the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is at an angle to the runway while its ground track is along the extended centerline of the runway.
DRIFT - The angle between the heading of an aircraft and its Track, or flight path, over the ground as affected by winds.

An L/MF or UHF radio beacon transmitting nondirectional signals whereby the pilot of an aircraft equipped with direction finding equipment can determine his bearing to or from the radio beacon and "home" on or track to or from the station.
A control station in Britain broadcast a radar beam in the direction of the target, and another beam tracked an Oboe-equipped Pathfinder bomber. A person in the control station could then guide the aircraft directly to the target.
