Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight? How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft? What preparation should a pilot make to adapt the eyes for night flying?
Because of this designation, longitude is measured in degrees west or east of the Prime Meridian. For example, 30Â°E, the line passing through eastern Africa, is an angular distance of 30Â° east of the Prime Meridian. 30Â°W, which is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, is an angular distance of 30Â° west of the Prime Meridian.
Latitude and longitude measure distances on the earth's surface in degrees. Latitude and longitude start with two lines: the equator and the prime meridian. Latitude measures the distances north or south from the equator. Longitude measures distances east and west from the prime meridian. Every place in the world has its own latitude and longitude.
