Danglometer
hi guys,..
just found my hands on a really old magazine(mind u im not that old) and the authour claims of a poor mans dme..a dangleometer,anybody else heard of this device?...
CONCEPT:is to get the angle in degrees between the object and the actual aircraft position,thn by using trigonometry calculate the distance of the object..its quite possible given the angle..
now i know its not prcticle in the days of gps and fms and god knows wht else is coming our way in terms of navigation,but im just a bit curious..
ps:just wondering how many new generation pilots have actually heard of this device.
no more 406pilot
