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 '''right''' to intersect the approach line of the landing deck (even though the carrier is off to the left - see [1]). | ||
[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.
