great circle route
course lines: a great circle is a circle formed by continuing the arc inscribed by connecting the shortest distance between two points on a sphere
lambert conformal charts
conic projection and developed by placing a secant cone over earth, intersecting the earth at two lines of latitude called “standard parallels”
characteristics of a lambert projection chart
parallels
meridians
scale
great circle
four types of lambert conformal charts
sectional aeronautical chart, operation navigation chart (ONC), tactical pilotage chart (TPC), terminal area chart (TAC)
define course, track, heading
course - aircrafts intended flight path
track - aircrafts acutual flight path over the ground
heading - angular distance of the aircrafts longitudinal axis from a reference
magnetic variation
angular difference between true north and magnetic north
