Popis: | The doppler track computer is a navigation device which accepts inputs of ground-speed and track from a doppler radar, and computes and displays miles to go and miles transverse to a selected track. Several types are available on the market.The heading input to the doppler may be from a magnetically slaved gyro or from a free gyro corrected for Earth rate. Thus, either magnetic tracks or gyro tracks are fed to the computer. Also, navigation may be carried out with reference to airways, mercator, conformal conic, oblique mercator, or polar stereographic charts. |
