1 in 60 rule has 90 miles to his next waypoint. He is thus two miles to the left of that and thus the waypoint is 4/3 of a degree (2 × 60/90) to the right, or approximately 1° right. The pilot then adds these two to get 5° and flies 5° right of t his previous heading. One can also use the 1 in 60 rule to approximate distance from a VOR, by flying 90 degrees to a radial and timing how long it takes to fly 10 degrees (the limit of the course deviation indicator). The time in seconds divided by 10
Triangle center if the trilinear coordinates of P can be expressed in the form f(A) : f(B) : f(C) where f(A) is a function of the angle A alone and does not depend on the other angles or on the side lengths. A triangle center P is called a "transcendental triangle center" if P has no trilinear representation using only algebraic functions of a, b and c. Let "f" be a triangle center function. If two sides of a triangle are equal (say "a" = "b") then so two components of the associated triangle center are always equal. Therefore all triangle centers
