*😳WHY❓❓❓*
=======================
*Why colour of human stool is brownish yellow**

The color is the result of what you eat and how much bile is in your stool. Bile is a fluid your liver makes to digest fats. It starts out as a yellowish green color. But as the pigments that give bile its color travel through your digestive system, they go through chemical changes and turn brown.

Healthy stool is usually considered a soft, formed bowel movement that is typically brownish in color,” “Stool may be indicative of a health problem if someone notices a change in their bowel habits with constipation or diarrhea, or notices a change in color of their stools.

Bile is a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps with digestion. It breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract. Bile salts are released into our stools by your liver, giving the stools a brown color. If our liver is not producing enough bile, or if the flow of the bile is blocked and not draining from our liver, our stools may become pale or clay-colored. Having pale stools once in a while may not be a cause for concern.

🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉️ =======================
*HOW DO PLANES NAVIGATE ?* ✈️🛩️🛬*

Finding the way from one place to another is called NAVIGATION. Moving of an

aircraft from one point to another is the most important part for any kind of mission.

Plotting on the paper or on the map a course towards a specific area of the earth.

*NAVIGATION METHODS*

There are three main methods of air navigation.

There are:

(a) Pilotage

(b) Dead Reckoning

(c) Radio.

(a). *Pilotage or Piloting* is the most common method of air navigation. In this method,

the pilot keeps on course by following a series of landmarks on the ground. Usually

before take-off, the pilot draws a line on the aeronautical map to indicate the desired

course. He/ She notes down various landmarks on track, such as highways , railroad

tracks, rivers , bridges etc . As the pilot flies over/ near each landmark, he checks the

deviation from the planned track and corrects his course.

(b). *Dead Reckoning* is the primary navigation method used in the early days of flying.

It demands more skill and experience than pilotage does. It is based on time, distance,

speed of the aircraft and direction. The pilot must know the distance from one point to

the next and the magnetic heading to be flown. He decides a speed to be maintained

keeping in mind the safety and efficiency of the aircraft, thereafter calculates the time

to know exactly to reach the distination. In the air, he uses compass to keep the plane

heading in the right direction. Dead reckoning is not always a successful method of

navigation because of changing wind direction

(c). *Radio Navigation* is used by almost all pilots. Pilots can find out from an aeronautical chart what radio station they should tune to in a particular area. They can then tune their radio navigation equipment to a signal from this station. A needle on

the navigation equipment.

*An autopilot* is a flight control system that allows a pilot to fly an airplane without continuous hands-on control of the airplane. It allows the pilot to focus on higher-order tasks such as navigating, communicating with air traffic control, planning for weather contingencies and rerouting associated with any kind of emergency circumstance.

An autoflight system works by sending signals to the flight control system. The pilot inputs what type of mode they want, like a heading hold mode or an altitude hold mode.
