Draw 1 Mile Concentric Circles on a Map

  1. I've found some, just the map isn't a sectional. Anybody know of i that uses a sectional to determine how far a altitude is from the airport you're flight out of? The full radial circle effectually an airdrome? Tin you practise this on SkyVector, Airnav, etc?

    Airnav has a bare to fill in to find distance to the airport on that page. Lower right side of folio.
    For first look at weather inside a set of radii I use Avnwx.com. You could cross reference with sectional available on Airnav?
  3. Yeah, I know about that. I want to see a full circumvolve effectually the airport for the altitude.
  4. Like this but on a sectional.

    Utilize Altitude Rings on Foreflight? Or, in WingX, but move the map and it e'er displays the altitude betwixt your location and the cursor.
  6. I have WingX. Bought it on a really cheap sale for a year simply haven't used it as I oasis't been flying. I'll try and figure that out. Cheers.
  7. Why not but depict 1 yourself? That'southward what I did years ago. Ask to borrow a child's protractor, utilize the scale on the chart, and Blast! Done.

    looks like aopa flight planner volition practice it

  9. I need to purchase a chart. Haven't bought one in years. That's why I was looking for something online. lol.
  10. Yeah, if I belonged to AOPA. ;)

    Hoping I can do it with some range rings in one of the costless apps.

    maybe u should rephrase ur question to "anyone know of an online tool that I happen to vest to that does what I want?"
  12. So order a sectional online or check your local airport. Less than $10. Do it yourself, not everything has to be custom store bought.
  13. Endeavour gcmap.com. It doesn't map on sectionals, only it does use the drome database. For example, tell information technology "500mi@ATL" and information technology draws a 500 sm circle around ATL.

    I really similar the flying planner on skyvector. Put in a source and destination and it clearly shows the road and altitude. You can put in way points and routes.
  15. If you lot are new to WingX y'all should watch the WingX videos on YouTube so you lot volition know how to take advantage of all the neat features it has. There is also a skillful users manual that one of our POA members created. Peradventure Scrabo volition come up along and mail service a link. I'm on my iPhone and don't have the link on it.
  16. I think what you lot're looking for is i like I apply -

    Try the demo version of iFly GPS. A 2 finger touch on will brandish altitude betwixt the chosen point, and the second indicate, whicj can be moved equally needed. Also at that place is a compass rose around present position which has the size noted on information technology. This changes with zoom level but is useful for a quick judge of position by zooming in or out.
  20. What's the purpose of the asking? Range rings on several products listed above would work nicely for brusque distances. Maybe, <200 miles.

    But if it'southward much longer than that, the shape of the "band" is all about the project you're using for your map. A circle will get more and more wrong as the range gets bigger. If you're looking for an endurance band for anything with whatever legs at all, you'll desire something more specialized. Unfortunately, I don't have a place to get one off the meridian of my head.

  21. Just a quick style to meet what airports are outside of a particular range, such as l miles for 90 or 250 miles for the commercial long XC rather than just having to search the distance of one airport at a fourth dimension.

    Has anyone found anything worth while however? I accept been wanting the same affair, so that I tin can put in a radius to encounter what airports are inside flying range to visit. Like for a cross country flight. Before anyone mentions using a paper exclusive and flying planner...once again.. aye I get that, but I want something on my calculator. Skyvector and Airnav dont have that characteristic.

    Why not just use the sectional map on any of the EFBs and expand and contract the size to match your desired radius? Granted the corner areas will exist a bit outside the radius, but I'll bet you can figure that out.
  24. That works if you alive at the airport. :D

    I drive an hour to the airport I wing out of so it's basically useless for that. Unless at that place'due south some way to move them I don't know most.

    WingX and I suspect other EFBs allow moving the centre of map wherever you lot desire information technology (snap to center turned off)
  26. Google Earth.

    Center your home airdrome. Click on the Ruler. Click on Circle. Click on your home drome and drag out to the radius you want. In the search box, enter "Airports".

    Y'all might accept to zoom in and out within that ring to be able to display some of the smaller fields that don't prove up right away at larger viewing areas.

    edit:

    I use Avare on my tablet, it has 2/five/ten mile rings. But those aren't the rings yous are looking for.

    There used to be a website that let you practise that, tin can't think what it'south called now. They got close down considering of some trademark or patent deal. You could choice an airdrome, then put in a distance, and information technology would return all the airports within that radius that met whatever criteria you entered.

    edit/edit:

    You tin "save" that ring. Then you tin can bounce effectually inside information technology and double-click on airports to bring upwards their info without resetting information technology.

  27. Dorsum in the dark ages before the days of following the magenta line, I had a large aviation chart on my office wall. Part functional, part conversation piece. I put a string pivoted on my home drome and so through an eye. I carefully and neatly marked a scale. I could movement the string to a potential destination, concur it with my fingers, then move that part of the string to the scale and see the altitude. This was not my own thought. In most airports in those days in that location was a similar map on the wall. Simple and stationary, but very handy.

    As far equally accomplishing the same matter with an iSomething, with a small corporeality of practice on any EFB software package y'all tin can get a distance to potential destination in near 2 heartbeats. Simply load upwards your favorite and poke effectually a little flake.

  28. Do non fifty-fifty speak about those days! :eek:

    I really had i of those maps with the string myself.

    You can utilize Skyvector. It takes some fourth dimension but it works... (the aforementioned method works with foreflight too)

    Lets say I was looking to do a 50NM radius around airport Philadelphia international

    Go to flight program style. Put KPHL drome in every bit the origin and destination. In the "route" section you can put KPHL360050 to get the betoken that is northward and a distance of 050nm from KPHL, next waypoint do KPHL010050 and keep in 10 degree increments until you reach 360 again.

    If you lot want you lot tin likewise have it draw out concentric circles for other distances by just continuing to add together points at further distances.

    Y'all tin use whatever heading increase you want depending on how fibroid/fine yous want the circle to exist and how much you desire it to look similar a circumvolve; I find 10 degrees works adequately well though occasionally if I have an airport on the line, when I measure it, it comes up brusque (especially equally you lot become further out and as the airport gets closer to being between the ii heading based fixes) just 10 degrees increments make it existent like shooting fish in a barrel to do a find/replace in a notepad on all 37 waypoints (360 is entered twice) and extend the distance as I can search for 0<quondam distance> (0050) and replace it with 0<new distance> (say 0100).

    You can as well use any waypoint indicate you want as long every bit it has an identifier that skyvector is aware of (airports, VORs, intersections, non-intersection waypoints, VP waypoints, etc).

    I'll use the characteristic for distance when calling up a tower and am told to report "X mile final" I'll create a quick flight plan from "current location" to Airdrome, Runway Reciprocal Heading and altitude and finally the aerodrome

    So if I were landing 09 at KPHL I'd put in KPHL270010 for a 10 NM final to 09.

    There's also ways to log a modify to altitude or airspeed enroute.

    Hither's a screen shot of 2 concentric circles at 50NM and 100NM around KPHL using skyvector.

    I'll even be nice and provide the waypoints used for the first circumvolve:
    KPHL360050
