Online aviation theory by Ron Newman -60 years in aviation.
I haven't looked at Ron's training material so I can't comment there. However, I have known him for many years dating back to the late-70s when he set up the Vicpol Airwing helo operation as engineering manager under Nev Balding and I was an Industry design engineering consultant to the organisation.
A fine fellow, is our Ron.
Engineering specialist in aircraft performance and weight control.
A. Nobody is going to use them for planned navigation but they might get you out of trouble if you need it, hence why they were in ERSA. For example, you’re flying to a small town with no navaids but you know they’ve got an AM station. You could use that at the very least to home to the station if you experienced a ‘period of uncertainty’, which is a pretty common scenario since 2016 when most navaids were switched off.
B. Sometimes we’re somewhere unfamiliar and want to know how the cricket is going.
They’re not a source of navigation and there was a massive disclaimer at the beginning of the section to reaffirm that.
