In nautical navigation the relative bearing of an object is the clockwise angle from the heading of the vessel to a straight line drawn from the observation station on the vessel to the object. The relative bearing is measured with a pelorus or other optical and electronic aids to navigation such as a periscope , sonar system , and radar systems .
A navigator determines the bearing (the compass direction from the craft's current position) of the next waypoint. Because water currents or wind can cause a craft to drift off course, a navigator sets a course to steer that compensates for drift. The helmsman or pilot points the craft on a heading that corresponds to the course to steer. If ...
Some words commonly used were introduced in maritime navigation. For example, the yaw angle or heading, has a nautical origin, with the meaning of "bending out of the course". Etymologically, it is related with the verb 'to go'. [6] It is related to the concept of bearing. It is typically assigned the shorthand notation ψ. [7]
5 i is the ranging codes for i; also denoted as I5 n and Q5 n. U and V i are intermediate codes, with U not depending on phase or PRN. The output of two 13-stage LFSRs with clock state t' is used: XA(x,t') has feedback polynomial x 13 + x 12 + x 10 + x 9 + 1, and initial state 1111111111111 2.
True course is 120°, the Variation is 5° West, and the Deviation is 1° West. T: 120° V: +5° M: 125° D: +1° C: 126° Therefore, to achieve a true course of 120°, one should follow a compass heading of 126°. True course is 120°, the Variation is 5° East and the Deviation is 1° East. T: 120° V: −5° M: 115° D: −1° C: 114°
Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's. 200 I6 1978-1983 only, partial (4 of 6 bolts) pattern. 250 I6 (except Australian 250/4.1) 255 V8; 289 V8 - (made after August 3, 1964) - had 6 bolts holding bellhousing to block; 302 Cleveland (Australia)
5.307 × 10 −10 – 8.349 × 10 −11 = 4.472 × 10 −10. This fraction is subtracted from 1 and multiplied by the pre-adjusted clock frequency of 10.23 MHz: (1 – 4.472 × 10 −10) × 10.23 = 10.22999999543. That is we need to slow the clocks down from 10.23 MHz to 10.22999999543 MHz in order to negate both time dilation effects.
The magnetic bearing to the station in this case is 350°. The ADF indicators are a kind of navigational display consisting of a dial and a needle that rotates around the dial and points to the beacon. This needle suggests the "to" bearing of the beacon, and to fly the "from" bearing, 180° needs to be added or subtracted from the reading. [7]
