'''TASK 1044'''
'''NAVIGATE BY PILOTAGE AND DEAD RECKONING'''

'''CONDITIONS:''' In an UH-1 helicopter and given the appropriate maps, plotter, flight computer, and
flight log.

'''STANDARDS:''' Appropriate common standards plus these additions/modifications:
1. Maintain orientation within 500 meters.
2. Arrive at check points/destination at estimated time of arrival (ETA) ±3 minutes.

'''DESCRIPTION:'''
1. Crew actions.
a. The pilot on the controls (P*) will focus primarily outside the aircraft and respond to
navigation instructions or cues given by the pilot not on the controls (P). The P* will
acknowledge commands issued by the P for the heading, altitude, and airspeed changes
necessary to navigate the desired course. The P* will announce significant surface features to
assist in navigation.
b. The P will direct the P* to change aircraft heading, altitude, and airspeed as appropriate
to navigate the desired course. The P will use rally terms, specific headings, relative bearings,
or key terrain features to accomplish this task. The P will announce all plotted wires before
approaching their location. The P and nonrated crewmember (NCM) will monitor aircraft
instruments, assist in clearing the aircraft, and provide adequate warning to avoid traffic and
obstacles. The P and NCM will announce when their attention is focused inside the aircraft
and again when attention is reestablished outside.

2. Procedures.
a. Both pilotage and dead reckoning will be used to maintain the position of the aircraft
along the planned route. Planned headings will be adjusted as necessary to compensate for the
effects of the wind.
b. Perform a ground speed check as soon as possible by computing the actual time required
to fly a known distance. Adjust estimated times for subsequent legs of the flight route using
the computed ground speed. Compare planned ground speed with computed ground speed
and adjust airspeed as required to arrive at each control point at its original ETA.

'''NIGHT OR NIGHT VISION GOGGLE CONSIDERATIONS:''' More detailed flight planning is
required when the flight is conducted at night. Interior cockpit lighting should be considered when
selecting colors for preparing navigational aids such as maps and kneeboard notes.

'''TRAINING AND EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS:'''
1. Training will be conducted in the aircraft.
2. Evaluation will be conducted in the aircraft.

'''REFERENCES:''' Appropriate common references.
