Toepassing
9 - 14 kHz
Hyperbolisch plaatsbepalingssysteem mbv aardse zenders. Deze band werd gebruikt doorOmega. Dit systeem is door de opkomst van satellietnavigatie (GPS) overbodig geworden en gesloten op 30 september 1997.
90 - 130 kHz

TERMINOLOGY ADF Automatic Direction Finder. An aircraft radio navigation which senses and indicates the direc DME Distance Measuring Equipment. Ground and aircraft equipment which provide distance info EAT Estimated Approach Time Flight EFIS called "Electronic glass cockpit ". Instrument System , in which multi-function CRT displays replace tradition ETA Estimated Time of Arrival GPS Global Positioning System . A navigation system based on the transmission of signals from s aviation users.
HDG Heading. The direction in which an aircraft's nose points in flight in the horizontal plane, exp HSI Horizontal Situation Indicator. A cockpit navigation display, usually part of a flight-director sy IFR Instrument Flight Rule . prescribed for the operation of aircraft in instrument meteorological c ILS Instrument Landing System . consists of the localizer, the glideslope and marker radio beacons INS Inertial Navigation System. It uses gyroscopes and other electronic tracking systems to detect accuracy, however, declines on long flights. Also called IRS, or Inertial Reference System.
KNOT (kt) Standard Unit of speed in aviation and marine transportation, equivalent to one nautic feet or 1.1515 miles. One knot is equal to one nautical mile per one hour.
LORAN C Long Range Navigation is a Long-Range low frequency Radio Navigation. Its range i MAGNETIC COURSE Horizontal direction, measured in degrees clockwise from the magne MACH NUMBER Ratio of true airspeed to the speed of sound.
