Opener – Describe your first impression of the chart.Anticipatory set or lesson opening (to activate students` prior learning or draw student interest or involvement) Students will be issued a Boston Terminal Area Chart.Identify Quadrant Elevations and Elevation Trends on an aviation chart.Identify bodies of water on an aviation chart.Identify Controlled and Uncontrolled airports on an aviation chart.Identify populated areas on an aviation chart.ĝefine the terms 'Pilotage' and 'Dead Reckoning'.Lesson plan 1 objectives Students will be able to:.Lesson Plan 1 - Aviation Charts Aviation Charts.Students will be able to determine magnetic variation by using a compass, and lines of longitude and latitude. Students will be able to create a no wind flight plan from an origin airport to a destination airport within 80 nautical miles of the origin. Students will be able to determine True Course and Magnetic Course for a planned, no wind flight using an aviation Plotter. Students will be able to determine geographic position using Degrees, Minutes and Seconds. Instructional Objectives Students will be able to define the terms 'Pilotage' and 'Dead Reckoning'.Strategies to promote equity Consider lesson plan design, access to technology and tools, any additional supports for students.

This unit will be used in our new four year program on Aviation Science, which I will be teaching. This unit will focus on the two basic methods of navigation used by VFR (Visual Flight Rules) pilots – Pilotage and Dead Reckoning.

Brief Description and Rationale Aircraft navigation has a range of methods – to the completely visual, to complicated flight management systems.
