The plane has sophisticated avionics including GPS, or global positioning system, which would enable Kennedy to be sitting on the ground in Caldwell, N . J ., plug in Martha's Vineyard and get the distance and compass heading he should target.

Previous versions did not allow great circle navigation at latitudes higher than 60 degrees ( North or South ), and at around 75-80 degrees North / South it became impossible to " fly " closer to the poles, whichever compass heading was followed.
33.
The device was called a gyroscopic stabilizer apparatus, and its purpose was to improve stability and control of aircraft . It utilized the inputs from several other instruments to allow an aircraft to automatically maintain a desired compass heading and altitude.

George Frampton, an assistant Secretary of Interior, described the plans as more like a compass heading than an engineering blueprint, and said the point of the briefings was to solicit public opinion, not to impose a Federal decision on the people of the region.

President Harrison wrote, " Today, like two ships at sea sailing apart on different compass headings, the ELCA and the LCMS have lost sight of each other, " also citing the decision of the ELCA and ECUSA to pursue cooperative training for their chaplains.

;Accident investigation : AIS information received by VTS is important for accident investigation since it provides accurate historical data on time, identity, GPS-based position, compass heading, course over ground, speed ( by log / SOG ), and rates of turn, rather than the less accurate information provided by radar.
37.
Similarly, compass bearings can be observed if the compass heading is set at the lubber's line, etc . However, the vessel must be on the heading to which the pelorus is set if accurate results are to be obtained, or else a correction must be applied to the observed results.
38.
They did take 1, 000 feet for a buffer zone, but they put it at the other end of the runway, so it is a buffer for planes coming in the other direction, in which case the runway is called 22 Left . ( Runways are named by compass heading .)
39.
The formula to determine the compass heading to an NDB station ( in a no wind situation ) is to take the relative bearing between the aircraft and the station, and add the magnetic heading of the aircraft; if the total is greater than 360 degrees, then 360 must be subtracted.
40.
This leadership team deserves time to define an agenda, but Bush and his Cabinet must be aware that most Democrats in Congress and the millions of Americans who gave Vice President Al Gore a 500, 000 edge in the popular vote have made a powerful statement about the compass headings of American government.
