jotaedo Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 hi all guys, this will be a very large topic since its a large series of flight, perhaps some of you may remember the series of Exploring USA, this time I'm moving to the east since the distances now are quite large I decided to take the jets from my squad, this trip starts at Siletz Bay, that was I left the plane last time. so this is a sort of part from my flight series in this forum so here they are: enjoy, most of the flights planned with sky vector, and none of them is an edited shot, fresh out of the screen taking the 406 to Hobby, love the Aspen, quite close to the real one I use to use in the Arrow of my air club climb! arriving Hobby something go out some other things come up to the plane getting ready for dep, need to leave the plane at KRDD going into Tahoe, here on taxi cruise note he miss app path loaded on the Aspen final! parked and landed JETS! taxi entering the active rolling! blasted of to KTEX im leaving on a jeeeeeeet planeeeeee final wing view ktex is by now one of my fav ORBX destinations (thanks 4th of July sale) Chreyenne time! someone know what are those bunker look like door? climb, Eagle county bound TRIVIA, why i had a differente GS lectures on GPS and DME? final, good flight with full atc on vatsim KTEX-KEGE taxi via A to parking face to face with the Dassault Falcon taking her to the Active Rwy bye bye eagle!... cya soon! up, up and away next destination? try to guess. more to come as time allows me to do both, compile the screenshots and complete the flights fly safe and happy landings, looking forward to your thoughts and comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 That's a lot of flights and all very nice. And why did you have the different DME? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS! that because of the GPS and DME measure different things, allow me to explain. GPS always gives you your actual GS, wherever the aircraft is flying, the device is able to do so since it takes date from the satellites, the same principle applies for distance measurements, keep in mind the distance measured by GPS is in a "straight" line. I say straight since at long range the earth isn't flat (right?) but for short distances earth is perfectly flat for measurements and if it is flat, the line will be straight. on the other hand, the DME measures distance and also gives you Speed and time to the station., Distance measurement equipment (in Latin America some pílots call it Donde Mierda Estoy: literally translated it's something like where the F**k I'm I?) how it does that? basically, its a pulses exchange between the aircraft and the station on the ground (if I remember properly my IFR lessons), to work properly the aircraft has to be aligned with the station, means flying directly inbound or outbound (TO/FROM anyone?) the stations, no matter what radial or course is since your pointed TO or FROM the station. once the plane is pointing it asks to the station "hey, how far are you?" to give an answer, the station and the DME needs and straight talk about it, if you are pointing anyplace else (except for reciprocal course) the answer would be something different, extreme case? 90° GS will read 0, practical exercise? fly and DME-ARC and check for the GS on the DME will read 0, you know you have good arching precision if 1) GS is 0 2) RMI needle pointing 90° at all times 3) DME reading of distance remains constant that's why in the pic got different readings, check for actual heading of the plane 360 in the picture heading to the station is 055 and the selected course in the HSI is 035 to complement the explanation, the distance measured by the DME is slant distance, it's the "actual" distance from the plane to the station, try this small exercise, once you completed your arching exercise fly directly to any for at sea level at 6000 feet, once you are directly OVER the VOR/DME check the DME distance, will read 1.0 Nm and how much is 1.0 Nautical Miles is measured in Feet?....

Tanks, I'm glad you enjoy the series, I'm really happy about the community understood this post as a continuum of flights across the USA I have enjoyed both, flying and writing in the sim, i also have learned a lot about planes and also about the USA, since I have never been there IRL btw, new post.... more to come on the future, don't know when but, for sure more will come Fly Safe and happy landings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie123 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Small question? Isn't GPS a slant angle as well? From where you are in 3 dimensional space to a point on the ground at certain coordinates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From where you are in 3 dimensional space to a point on the ground at certain coordinates How the calculation works exactly depends on the individual GPS device, however GPS definitely does NOT use a slant angle........ GPS devices calculate a distance between 2 points using the World Geodetic System, which provides a reference ellipsoid for the calculations, the current version of which is WGS84. As an example, consider when flying to a destination in a plane, the GPS will read a distance of 0nm when 6000ft directly above that destination, whereas the DME will read 1nm, because of the slant angle calculation. For more details on the World Geodetic System, see: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
