What are the 4 T's of navigation?
Thanks, Tarmach |
I think that three of them could be Time,Turn and Talk ??
|
The fourth 'T' could be Throttle.
i.e. Do you need to change level ? |
Sounds good Capt. The only other time I have really used the "T"'s is when beacon outbound on an IFR flight. Time Turn Talk, and set QFE...obviously no fourth T there..?!?!
|
Time, TWIST (heading bug), Turn, Talk.

Geoff Dunster of Channel Aviation used to have six of 'em, mainly designed around flying an instrument approach:
Turn (on to the necessary track) Time (start the watch) Twist (OBS or maybe altimeter subscale) Throttle (go down, slow down or both) Talk (report the beacon outbound/inbound) Track (concentrate on going in the right direction!) Works for me. |
In VFR nav, I believe it is
TIME : Record TURN : Set new heading TALK : Position report if needed / frequency change TASK : Calculate ETA, gross error check Happy flying, :) :) SpeedBird22 :) :) |
Speedbird,
You are indeed correct, the 4th "T" is Task. Safe Ascents |
How about some P's instead: Proper pre-flight planning prevents poor performance.
|
I just want to point out that there is no correct or incorrect answer, but time,turn,talk,task is the way I've been taught and it works for me.
Using a different navigation method is fine, as long as it works for them! :) :) SpeedBird22 :) :) |
i think you missed out a p in proper preflight planning prevents pixx poor performance 6 p's there
|
You can also use CLEAROFF.
Compass & DI alignment Log (ie ETAs) Engine (T's & P's, Alt & Suction etc.) Altitude (QNH, climbing/descending to) Radios (nav & comm) Orientation (lead out features) Fuel Forced landing areas Have a good one, Dave ------------------ Flying is easy - just throw yourself at the ground and miss. |
When entering a hold or leaving a hold:
Turn Time Twist Throttle Talk Think (think ahead, preferably 5 mins) |
Jetheat,
You are indeed correct. Whatever works for you is best as long as you stick to it. here are some other useful ones RAWLEF for holds... Reason (Rwy Blocked?) Altitude (lower?) Weather (below mins) Location (on inbound course?) Expect further clearance Fuel (how much remaining?) AMORTS approach brief Approach (make sure you have right one) Minimums (sector, procedure turn, FAF crossing, DH or MDA) Overshoot (missed approach) Radio (tune & identify) Time (to MAP) Special (non standard notations) Hope these help [This message has been edited by Bush Driver (edited 11 March 2001).] |
How about xmoglyfh?

I was always taught the Hunter DFGA technique:
T L A R That Looks About Right!! |
hmmm
how about the S's i remeber someone asking me if i knew what the 3 S's that pilots were interested in were. i guessed: Sex Sucking Screwing they said that it was actually Sex Senority Salary but they liked mine better :) ------------------ If God had meant us to travel economy class, he would have made us narrower! |
Eng fail on a light twin:
Firewall everything Undercarriage UP Clean up Kill the dead engine seems to happily spring to mind in appropriate situations. As for the 'T's', I was always taught: Time Twist (HDG bug/OBS needle etc. for new course) Turn Talk. Pre-HAAT and Post-HAATs always serve fine for Nav (will be familiar to some..!) ------------------ ...proceeding below Decision Height with CAUTION... |
I use a derivation of the 3 T's - Turn, Time, Chat.
Turn (onto HDG) Time (start stopwatch) Comms (chx for freq. change on new HDG Heading (chx HDG and bug) Altitude (chx maintain apt. Alt.) Time (double chx stopwatch) I like your first one AffirmBrest, you're right it would certainly spring to mind in a fix. Cheers, ATCS |
