[2] is the heading of the landing deck, which in this case is defined as 8 degrees to the left of the carrier's heading. | [2] is the heading of the landing deck, which in this case is defined as 8 degrees to the left of the carrier's heading. | ||
[3] is the down angle to the carrier. The "''needle''" is set to align with "''Centre''" at 3 degrees. | [3] is the down angle to the carrier. The "''needle''" is set to align with "''Centre''" at 3 degrees. This is showing that aircraft needs to go down to get onto the glide-slope. | ||
[4] is the offset angle between [1] and [2]. The "''needle''" is set to align with "''Centre''" when they are equal. The idea is to give a steer to get on the approach centreline to the landing deck. | [4] is the offset angle between [1] and [2]. The "''needle''" is set to align with "''Centre''" when they are equal. The idea is to give a steer to get on the approach centreline to the landing deck. This is showing that th aircraft needs to head to the left to intersect the approach line of the landing deck. | ||
[5] is the difference in headings between that of the aircraft and the landing deck. This angle is also shown graphically in [6]. It indicates how much of a turn is required once the centreline of [4] is acheived. | [5] is the difference in headings between that of the aircraft and the landing deck.
