The outside surface of the bowl includes markings to indicate a magnetic heading.
2.
Some basic processing occurs on the radar tracks, such as calculating ground speed and magnetic headings.
3.
The ADF needle is then referenced immediately to the aircraft's magnetic heading, which reduces the necessity for mental calculation.
4.
It is one of the few airports in Nunavut that uses magnetic headings for the runway rather than true headings.
5.
It not only can detect the magnetic heading and true heading ( combined with the GPS ), but also can get raw heading data.
6.
However, due to magnetic declination, changes in runway names have to occur at times to keep their name in line with the runway's magnetic heading.
7.
Additionally, the electric field they induce in their bodies when swimming in the magnetic field of the Earth may enable them to sense their magnetic heading.
8.
Hartranft proposed marking runways with magnetic headings, the method used today, and he wrote the first pilot's manual on how to use the electronic navigation system.
9.
From 01 : 30 : 35 until 01 : 35, military radar showed Flight 370 at on a 231?magnetic heading, with a ground speed of.
10.
The Magnetic north drifted over the life of the runway, such that by the time it was due for reconstruction, the magnetic headings were closer to 130 and 310.
