The illustration demonstrates the scanning techniques to be adopted by a pilot. |
This shows how pilots should scan the field of view. To scan effectively, pilots must look from right to left or left to right. They should begin scanning at the greatest distance an object can be perceived (top) and move inward toward the position of the aircraft (bottom). The image shows two mountainous terrain on the left and right and greenery in the middle at a distance. There is a thick arrow pointing from left marked as one to the right on the top marked as two and another thick arrow pointing from top marked two to bottom marked as three. From three a left pointing arrow moves to the point marked four. A few mountains and some clouds are also depicted in the background. |

This illustrates the two types of decision making that are recognized world wide, namely, the analytical method and the automatic/naturalistic method. |
This image shows the two types of decision making recognized worldwide. This has two flow charts shown side by side. The left one shows the Analytical method and the right one shows the Automatic/Naturalistic method. The steps in the Analytical method depicted in the flow chart are Situation, detection, Evaluation of event, outcome desired, the different solutions that you get there from Solution A to Solution D, the best action to do, effect of the decision. If the problem remains, the process should be repeated, otherwise, it will be done. On the right pane is the depiction of the Automatic/Naturalistic method. The steps involved here are Detection, Evaluation of event, Outcome desired, Take action, If not successful, to repeat take action and ends with successful. |

Picture of the globe as seen from above the North Pole showing the magnetic North Pole and the Magnetic meridiens. |
This picture shows the picture of the earth's globe with latitudes and longitudes and also the magnetic meridians. Several magnetic meridians are shown to radiate from the Magnetic North pole indicated by a circle and marked MN. The globe is shown from above the North pole and shows most of the Northern hemisphere. From these lines of variation (magnetic meridians), one can determine the effect of local magnetic variations on a magnetic compass. |
