1:60 Rule Track Error & Closing Angle mental DR Use of Radio Aids Flight plan PNR & CP
Pilot Navigation
The rule is based on the premise that if a right angle triangle has a base line 60 units long, the value in degrees of the smaller enclosed angle is the same as the number of units in the shorter side of the triangle. A comparison with the actual angle errors of less than for angles upto 9 7 only 1 error at 16 .By 20 the error is 1 ,increasing rapidly at larger angles.Hence the usage is limited to 20

TAS from Mach No: Assuming ISA conditions, this method is reasonably accurate upto 40000 Ft & speeds upto Mach 1: a. Multiply the indicated Mno ( to two decimal places ) by 600 or by 6 ignoring decimal. b. If the Mno is .60 or less add 1Kt for each 1000 Ft below 25000 Ft, or subtract 1kt per 1000 Ft above 25000 Ft. c. Mno> .60 add 2Kts/ subtract 2 Kts for each 1000Ft as in b.

Main elements of PHOENIX are: Flight Leg Record(FLR)- Stored information includes preferred route or route selection, alternate, min/max FLT LVL, ICAO/FAA flt plan,cruise profiles,weather data etc.The same route (city pair ) may have upto two more options with different parameters. Aircraft Record( ACR)- Each of our aircraft is identified by its own registration. A default record defines the company operating policy & limitations on MTOW, LDW, ZFW, max. taxi-out wt,fuel tank capacity, residual fuel,options of different climb, cruise & descent profiles,Selcal, engine model etc
