Product Description

Being a competent pilot-navigator is the very essence of
piloting. The foundation upon which sound pilot-navigation skills are
built is meticulous flight planning.

The principal aims of this book are to teach you the theory and practice
which underpin successful flight planning, and the art of single-pilot,
visual navigation, as well as to prepare you for the theoretical knowledge
examinations of the Private Pilot's Licence (PPL), and beyond. To this
end, the book consists of two sections; the first section deals with dead
reckoning visual navigation techniques, that every pilot must master, and
the second section is an introduction to radio-navigation aids.

Accompanying the book, is an interactive CD-ROM which teaches you how to
use the analogue navigation computer which is used in the theoretical
knowledge examinations, and which is still a firm favourite of many
practising pilots. The CD-ROM contains thousands of self-test questions
on the functionality of the navigation computer. These are in addition
more than 170 end-of-chapter PPL-style questions.
