Abstract
A template, for use in conjunction with a radar presentation to train an intercept controller in coordinating aircraft movements, defines spatial relationships between aircraft symbols presented on the radar through range and separation scales and position cues imprinted on the template. The template also has a series of apertures which allow direct marking of aircraft position on the radar scope without removing the template.
Claims8
A training device for training aircraft intercept operators in the use of a radarscope to coordinate the movement of a plurality of aircraft, comprising:
- a template formed in the shape of a triangle having a base stem extending therefrom such that said stem bisects the hypotenuse of said triangle;
- said triangle having imprinted thereon a plurality of range scales;
- said stem having imprinted thereon longitudinal lines at predetermined separation;
- and
- said template having a series of apertures along the centerline of said stem extending into said triangle.
A device for training air intercept operators on a radar in directed aircraft control comprising a triangular template having a rectangular template extension therefrom bisecting the hypotenuse of said triangle template, said template having range scales and intercept indicia imprinted thereon.
