Course Description
This flight lab demonstrates the correct Flight Test Techniques for evaluating Radio Aids to Navigation (either VOR/DME or TACAN) and Global Positioning System accuracy testing. The student will participate in an instructor-led exercise demonstrating the techniques taught during T&E 4202. This 1.5 hour flight will expose the student to Range and Bearing accuracy testing of a new or upgraded A/C VOR or TACAN system and a method of evaluating the accuracy of a GPS system. The lab will stress geometries, flight planning, types of data to be collected and the analysis required for a typical evaluation. This lab is available during the T&E
4202 course to provide maximum training benefit.
