ATPL Flight Planning 033 - Ep.25: Grid Navigation - Convergence | ATPL Training | ATPL Exams

Описание: Welcome to ATPLation! ✈️

In Episode 25 of our ATPL Flight Planning 033 series, we begin exploring one of the most misunderstood — yet vitally important — topics in long-range navigation:

“Grid Navigation – Convergence” 🌍🧭

As you start flying polar routes or high-latitude operations, conventional navigation methods begin to break down. That’s where grid navigation comes in — and understanding convergence is the first critical step.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ What convergence means in the context of navigation
✅ How lines of longitude behave as you approach the poles
✅ Why true heading and grid heading differ at high latitudes
✅ The impact of meridional convergence on track and heading planning
✅ How to calculate convergence using simple formulas required for the ATPL exams

We break down the theory using easy-to-follow visuals and examples, showing you how to apply convergence corrections in grid-based operations, particularly in polar charts and high-latitude enroute segments.

By mastering convergence, you'll be prepared to handle more complex topics like Grid North, Grid Track, and Grid Variation — all of which play a role in both exam success and long-haul flight planning.

This episode is ideal for:

🧑‍✈️ ATPL students working on advanced Flight Planning concepts
📘 Pilots preparing for high-latitude operations
🧑‍🏫 Instructors explaining long-range navigation
🌐 Anyone looking to understand why heading and track don’t always align on a globe

At ATPLation, we turn abstract navigation theory into practical aviation knowledge.

With visual aids, worked examples, and real-world context, our goal is to help you not only pass your ATPL exams, but think like a pilot. 🧠📐
