Introducing the LNP215 Helicopter Navigation Protractor, a precision tool designed specifically for helicopter navigation planning.
This rectangular grid course plotter is crafted from a 3mm thick clear acrylic base and features a clear moulded acrylic compass rose, offering durability and accuracy for even the most demanding navigational tasks. With nautical mile scales ranging from 1:50,000 to 1:1,000,000, this versatile tool is ideal for helicopter pilots, navigators, and professionals who require precise course-plotting. Supplied in a sturdy translucent plastic wallet, the LNP215 is designed for both field and classroom use.
Durable Acrylic Construction
The LNP215 Helicopter Navigation Protractor is built from high-quality materials, ensuring it can withstand the rigours of regular use. The 3mm thick clear acrylic base provides a sturdy platform for plotting courses, offering both durability and transparency. The thicker base ensures that the protractor resists bending or warping, even under frequent use or in challenging field conditions.
Its clear acrylic construction allows for excellent visibility, ensuring that the details of the map or chart underneath remain fully visible while you work. This ensures that measurements can be taken with precision, reducing the chance of error when plotting helicopter routes.
Clear Moulded Acrylic Compass Rose
One of the key features of the LNP215 Helicopter Navigation Protractor is its clear moulded acrylic compass rose. This highly accurate compass rose is designed to help pilots and navigators plot precise bearings and courses with ease. Whether you’re working on pre-flight planning or plotting a course in the air, the compass rose ensures that your bearings are accurate and easy to read.
The clear moulded design enhances the protractor’s usability, ensuring that all markings and directional indicators are sharp and visible, even in challenging light conditions. This feature makes the LNP215 indispensable for helicopter navigation, where accuracy and reliability are critical.
Multiple Nautical Mile Scales for Versatile Use
To accommodate a wide range of navigational tasks, the LNP215 Helicopter Navigation Protractor includes four nautical mile scales: 1:50,000, 1:250,000, 1:500,000, and 1:1,000,000. These scales provide the flexibility needed for both detailed, close-range navigation and larger-scale planning over extended distances.
- The 1:50,000 scale is ideal for detailed, low-altitude helicopter navigation, where precise distance measurements are critical.
- The 1:250,000 scale allows for broader route planning, useful when covering mid-range distances or flying in varied terrain.
- The 1:500,000 scale is perfect for larger area maps, offering quick and accurate distance assessments over greater ranges.
- The 1:1,000,000 scale is suited for long-range navigation, providing an overview of extensive areas while still offering precise measurements.
By including these four scales, the LNP215 protractor is versatile enough to handle the various challenges of helicopter navigation, making it an essential tool for pilots and navigators alike.
Supplied in a Sturdy Translucent Plastic Wallet
To protect the protractor during transport and storage, the LNP215 Helicopter Navigation Protractor is supplied in a sturdy translucent plastic wallet. This durable wallet ensures that the protractor is shielded from dust, scratches, and general wear, keeping it in excellent condition for every use. The translucent design makes it easy to quickly identify the protractor in your navigation kit or flight bag, while the robust material ensures it remains protected, even in tough environments.
