Could anyone tell me what the 'semi-circular rule' is

Thanks

What is the difference between magnetic heading and track?

Thanks

JT ATC · February 7th, 2008, 15:06

Magnetic heading is the direction we tell an aircraft to turn, I.E...the plane points his nose on a heading of 360, but if there is a strong east wind, the aircraft will not fly a 360 heading, the wind will push the a/c westbound. So the aircraft will actually be tracking for example a 340 heading even though his nose is pointed due north. Understand?

Hey all I am USAF ATC for another 5 days then American Eagle FO in the EMB out of BOS.

I worked at Travis Approach, Osan Approach, and McGuire Approach. 6 years worth ATC.

Towerboss · February 22nd, 2008, 12:05

Just curious what made you decide to go pilot and leave ATC? Also did you know anyone from McConnell AFB there at McGuire?

I have always wanted to fly for a career. I did ATC to become a better pilot. No not that I know of.

Yes it is/was. I really didn't know anybody there though. Maybe Chuck Howard 9Who has since moved out to Milwaukee. I know Ed Milloy and Sal Mesineo, and that's about it. Maybe if you mention the name I can recall.

Both new-hires. Only sector they are (or ever will be) checked out on.

Kmaceri · June 24th, 2008, 12:22

Everytime I come back from KPFN (panama city beach) they take me over ATL, thats the best experience ever, going over the airport and then the city. Of course this is at night when its not as busy. Any reason for this?
LZU is about 30 miles north east of ATL
