A big bravo for these pilots . Up in the air in dark nights and be able to navigate to where the destination will be situated. Just amazing

@highcrimes9153 5 лет назад

When you’re exiting the aircraft, the pilots will have their door open and they’ll be standing. Tell them that you appreciate what they do.

@lcmortensen Год назад

They go old school and do it by radar vectors from ATC, radio beacons (VOR/NDB), and if all alse fails, dead reckoning (heading and distance from the last known waypoint).

living just 2 miles from O'Hare airport and under a common takeoff path for commercial aircraft going northeast, I marvel anytime one passes overhead.....truly marvels of engineering..... can someone give me any tips to help easily identify the most common different planes from underneath as they pass over.....thanks

If you see exposed tires (main gear) underneath the plane, its most commonly a Boeing 737.

@ericphan5857 2 года назад

If few thousand miles distance then a twin cities separate 50 miles is undistinguishable if constructed well therefore each airline must invest in their own well kept secret way point system for safety in these treacherous water. Remember Korean Air 007 got shot over Russia because of thus problem and it now pointed to a secret research of kidnapped air plane without a hitch

@tomstravels520 Месяц назад

KAL007 was before GPS systems were enabled for civilian aircraft. The aircraft was not in INS mode but still in Heading mode and the crew did not realise
