how do the pilots know when they fly the excat location of a city.?

Answer 1

Before an airplane can take off, pilots are supposed to file a flight plan. This involves consulting nav charts and checking weather and reporting their intentions. They then plot their course one these charts and take the vectors they need to fly this course from the charts. Then of course, they have to fly the correct heading that will give take them along these vectors. While the larger airplanes and even many small ones do have autopilot, they are not actually "flown by computers." They autopilot makes navigation correction based on the information that is fed into them. Do it wrong, and the autopilot will be happy to fly you right into a mountain, it doesn't know the difference.

Answer 2

They use GPS and a technology called ILS for landing at the exact spot... besides the ATSc guide them throughout.... all they actually have to do is key in the direction vector (a number between 0 and 360) which corresponds to the city they are heading for and the autopilot does the rest for them.....

Actually, it mlight be more complex than this.... but this is just a jist...

Answer 3

They have a ton of satellite data and radar, as well as the fact that they travel in narrow corridors of air called "skylanes", and mandarted by your friend the FAA. IT's rather hard to miss something that big when you fly right above it.

Answer 4

They use air navigation charts, radio beacons , SINS systems amd Gobal Positioning Systems

Answer 5

GPS and radar. Planes are pretty much flown by computers and overseen by humans.

Answer 6

GPS. A little over your head. you know up there where the satellites are?

Answer 7

airplane have compass on board and also they have maps that describe each place. altitude, etc. and also, they have communication with the tower, the airport tower. one thing, they also have GPS.
