This plotter
contains mileage scales (in nautical miles) for all enroute IFR
charts. Determines the scale of the chart to be used (usually
indicated along the edge of the chart) and then select the corresponding
mileage scale on the plotter. Available scales are as follows:
1": 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 60, 80 and 100 nautical
miles. Note that the nautical mile-kilometer conversion scale
is included on the plotter for your connivance. When placed over
a station, this plotter graphically shows actual standard (right
hand) and nonstandard (left hand) turns for holding and entry
pattern relative to your flight course. This APR plotter also
may be used as a ruler using any of the mileage scales, but the
1", 10 miles scale is considered most convenient. Just remember
that every 10 miles equals 0.1 inch. | |
