Fly Better Book Three......The Art of Aerial Navigation.
  • The 'Art of Aerial Navigation' in this age of Global Positioning Satellites seems to be a dying art. However, a good understanding of pilot navigation techniques must be demonstrated to obtain the most basic pilot's licence. Why? Because electronic systems can fail for a multitude of reasons which could leave you and your passengers in a life-threatening situation!

  • Most flight schools and flight instructors overcomplicate the process of learning navigation techniques. This book presents a practical guide to pilot navigation using only a Map, a Compass, a Pencil and a Brain.

  • Already licenced pilots will find what I teach in this book much simpler than what they have been taught elsewhere and flying instructors will find these techniques much simpler to teach to their students with better results. The students of course will actually enjoy learning to navigate the aeroplane themselves.

  • I have also included a section on an easy method of interpreting basic radio aid information for the more advanced students, plus a navigation 'game' to assist in practising all of these techniques at home.

  • The topics covered are:

  • Lesson One - Navigation Logs
  • Lesson Two - Time
  • Lesson Three - Map Reading
  • Lesson Four - Track Correcting
  • Lesson Five - Track Crawling
  • Lesson Six - Low-Level Navigation
  • Lesson Seven - Lost Procedures
  • Lesson Eight - Fuel Consumption Graphs
  • Lesson Nine - Radio Aids to Visual Navigation
  • Lesson Ten - Area Navigation by Radio Aids
  • Supplement - The Navigation Game.
