In the absence of visual reference, we rely on our vestibular system to keep us oriented. But as previously explained, this system is totally unreliable for this purpose when in motion.
Nondirectional Radio Beacon (Ndb)
Definition:
An L/MF or UHF radio beacon transmitting nondirectional signals whereby the pilot of an aircraft equipped with direction finding equipment can determine the bearing to or from the radio beacon and “home” on or track to or from the station.
Vacuum Failures
Definition:
Vacuum pump failures are one of the most common squawks in general aviation aircraft. But pilots don't train enough for this possibility, and the training they get is often inadequate.
