Various plastic and metal devices used to manually calculate takeoff distance, air speed corrections, bearing, fuel consumption, direction, etc.
Was owned and used by Robert Emmett (Bob) Cousins.
Bob Cousins was born in Vancouver, BC. At a young age he joined the Canadian Army which brought him to Edmonton, AB where he met his true love, Edie. Together they moved to Whitehorse, YT in 1954 to raise their family. His legacy to the Yukon is the design and building of Cousins Airstrip in 1964, used by many as a flight training field today.;I.C.A.N. metal calibration device: the device is a purely mechanical one for calculating height corrections when flying an airplane.
I.C.A.N. plastic calibration device: the device is a purely mechanical one for calculating height corrections when flying an airplane. ;Navigation Protractor (Pan American Navigation Service) is used to plot a bearing on a map.;Esso Fuel Rule used to calculate fuel usage and transcribe to metric.
