Match each aeronautical navigation method to its primary reference source:
Navigation Methods:
1. Pilotage (Terrestrial navigation)
2. GPS
3. VOR
4. ADF/NDB
Reference Sources:
A. Constellation of orbiting satellites
B. Magnetic radials transmitted by a ground station
C. Visible landmarks and physical ground features
D. Non-directional radio beacon signals
Answer
1-C, 2-A, 3-B, 4-D
Explanation
Each method relies on a different reference: visible surface features, satellite measurements, VOR radials, or NDB bearings. Recognizing the reference helps pilots understand the information displayed and its limitations. **Key takeaway:** Different navigation systems provide different kinds of position evidence. **Glossary:** **Radial**: magnetic direction outward from a VOR; **ADF**: equipment that receives NDB signals.
