It's been kinda slow as of late, but it's picking up again.

Are the lights on a plane (green + red) similar to those of a traffic light?

Could anyone tell me what the 'semi-circular rule' is

Thanks

 

[Ryan Wesley Hawkins]

What is the difference between magnetic heading and track?

Thanks

 

[JT ATC]

Magnetic heading is the direction we tell an aircraft to turn, I.E...the plane points his nose on a heading of 360, but if there is a strong east wind, the aircraft will not fly a 360 heading, the wind will push the a/c westbound. So the aircraft will actually be tracking for example a 340 heading even though his nose is pointed due north. Understand?

 

[Ryan Wesley Hawkins]

Yip

thanks

Hey all I am USAF ATC for another 5 days then American Eagle FO in the EMB out of BOS.

I worked at Travis Approach, Osan Approach, and McGuire Approach. 6 years worth ATC.

 

[Towerboss]

Just curious what made you decide to go pilot and leave ATC? Also did you know anyone from McConnell AFB there at McGuire?

[ridejumpfly]

I have always wanted to fly for a career. I did ATC to become a better pilot. No not that I know of.

Yes it is/was. I really didn't know anybody there though. Maybe Chuck Howard 9Who has since moved out to Milwaukee. I know Ed Milloy and Sal Mesineo, and that's about it. Maybe if you mention the name I can recall.
