ATPL General Navigation 061 - Ep.13: Earth Magnetism - Variation | ATPL Training | ATPL Exams

Описание: 🧲 Welcome back to ATPLation, the ultimate platform for mastering the ATPL syllabus, one concept at a time.

In this thirteenth episode of our General Navigation 061 series, we explore a key principle of compass-based navigation: Magnetic Variation — a critical topic both in theory and in practical aviation operations. 🧭✈️🌍

Every time a pilot reads a heading from a magnetic compass or a navigation chart, they must apply corrections based on magnetic variation. This episode will teach you how to do it with confidence — and precision.

In this video, you’ll learn:

✅ What is Earth magnetism, and how the planet’s magnetic field affects navigation
✅ The difference between true north and magnetic north — and how this causes variation
✅ How to interpret isogonals on aeronautical charts
✅ The difference between east and west variation and when to apply the "East is least, West is best" rule
✅ How to convert between true bearings, magnetic bearings, and compass headings using variation and deviation

You'll also understand:

📉 Why magnetic variation changes over time and location
🗺️ How to read variation values from charts and apply them to flight planning
🧠 Common ATPL exam questions involving headings, bearings, and variation — and how to avoid mistakes
⚠️ Real-life operational consequences of ignoring magnetic variation, especially in long-haul or high-latitude flights

This topic is foundational for navigation, as it impacts everything from basic pilotage to RNAV and autopilot system alignment. Understanding variation is not only necessary to pass your exams — it’s essential for safe flight. ✈️📚
