Abstract

Proračun navigacijske rute leta sastavni je dio prethodne navigacijske pripreme koja se provodi neposredno prije leta. Objašnjen je postupak proračuna elemenata VFR navigacijske rute leta na primjeru leta jednomotornog klipnog zrakoplova iz Zagreba do Zadra, sa alternativnim aerodromom na Krku. Objašnjen je proračun elemenata odabrane rute leta, visine, brzine, vremena, kursa leta, segmenata penjanja i krstarenja, te obrada meteoroloških podataka i proračun goriva potrebnog za let. Za točnu pripremu leta, potrebno je poznavanje računske navigacije, meteorologije, performansi zrakoplova i poznavanje karakteristika područja kojim pilot namjerava izvršiti let. Za odabranu rutu, prikazana je izrada navigacijskog plana leta i ucrtavanje navigacijskih elemenata na kartu.

Abstract (english)

Calculation of VFR navigation route is an integral part of the pre-flight navigation preparation carried out immediately before the flight. Procedure for calculation of elements for VFR navigation route is explained on example of single engine piston aircraft flight from Zagreb to Zadar, with alternative aerodrome on the island of Krk. Calculation of elements for selected flight route is explained, altitude, speed, time, course of flight, segments of climb and cruise, with interpretation of meteorological information and fuel calculation. Knowledge of dead reckoning navigation, meteorology and aircraft performance is needed for accurate pre-flight preparation. Navigation log and navigation elements on map are made for selected flight.
