The associated third scale is calibrated in hours and minutes. o Time, Ground Speed, Distance Problems o Fuel Consumption Problems o Altimeter Correction o Airspeed Correction Problem o Density Altitude o Drift Correction for Off Course Problems o Conversion Indexes o Common Multiplication and Division o Rate of Climb and Descent 2nd picture = WIND SIDE of the Flight Computer: =============================================== The WIND SIDE of the computer consists of a rotating azimuth and a rectangular grid that slides up and down through the azimuth. The sliding grid has two sides, a low speed and a high speed side (see 2nd picture: lower w. "WAC" / STATUTE Miles and upper w. "SECTIONAL" / STATUTE). The azimuth circle rotates freely and is graduated into 360°. The transparent portion is frosted so that it can be written on with a pencil. o Solution of Wind Vector Triangles, Formulas for Wind Triangle Solution w. TC = True Course WCA = Wind Correction Angle TH = True Heading VAR = Variation DEV = Deviation CH = Compass Heading MC = Magnetic Course CC = Compass Course o Drift on Multiple Headings o Half Scale Wind Triangles o Radius of Action Wind Triangles o Off Course Problems R E M A R K S : ================================================================= The »CSG-2A« "NAVIGATOR" is available in POCKET-Size as »CSG-1A«.
