System and method for calibrating on-board aviation equipment

摘要

A method and system are provided for calibrating on-board aviation equipment. An actual bearing from an aircraft to an automatic direction finder (ADF) station is determined. The aircraft is moved to a plurality of headings. An ADF bearing is determined from the aircraft to the ADF station at each of the plurality of headings. An error between the actual bearing and the ADF bearing at each heading is calculated. Then, an error function as a function of the heading of the aircraft is generated based at least in part on the calculated error.
