intersession day 6

1. What is the difference between true north and magnetic north?

true north/heading is when the director of the earth's north pole in relations to... magnetic north/ heading is the depiction of earth's magnetic pole relations to... so basically the difference between them is that one of them is the director of the north pole but the other one of them incompletely diff rent because it has to do with the direction of earths magnetic pole.

2. What is the attitude gyro for?

The attitude gyro is an instrument used in an aircraft, which indicates pitch and roll.

3. Define airfoil

airfoil is a shape designed to cut through the air.

4.1 nautical miles = 1.15 statue miles X nautical miles= 35.5 miles

so... 1NM over XNM = 1.15 over 35.5M cross multiply
35.5 over 1.15 = 1.15x over 1.15 (1.15 and 1.15 cancel)

ANSWER: 30.9


5. 1 nautical mile = 1.15 statue miles X nautical miles = 150 statue miles so...

1NM over XNM = 1.15 over 150 cross multiply
(1.15 and 1.15 cancel)

ANSWER: 130
