The pilot navigates in the sky in the following way to reach the destination:

  • The magnetism-based compass, which depicts direction or position based on the magnetic field of the earth, is the principal instrument used by airplane navigators.
  • Other directional aids used by the pilot include the GPS systems and radar systems, as well as the other communication systems.

Yes, the magnetic field of the earth aids pilots in determining the real direction in the sky.

  • This is due to the fact that magnetic compasses function on the principle of the attraction and repulsion of unlike and like poles, respectively.
  • The needle of the magnetic compass points south, indicating attraction with the north magnetic field of the earth, and vice versa.
  • Pilots can determine where or which direction the aircraft or plane is headed in this manner.
