Volume 3 of The Air Pilot’s Manual – Air Navigation – presents this important area of training for the Private Pilot’s Licence in a logical sequence of theory, preparation and performance. The Cockpit is a difficult environment in which to learn so as with the other volumes of The Air Pilot’s Manual, in Air Navigation Pooley’s has avoided the presentation of ‘facts only’. A thorough understanding of the principles will enable you to gain maximum benefit from your actual navigation exercise flights. This approach will enable you to become a competent pilot/navigator and will also help to minimise your flight training hours. (It does, however, mean that the book is a little longer than it could be if the aim was only to cram in facts without a reasonable understanding.) In determining the order in which the information is presented, care has been taken to keep things as logical and practical as possible.
Topics covered include:
- Basic Navigation Theory
- Using the Flight Navigation Computer
- Flight Planning
- En route Navigation
- PPL Radio Navigation
- Practice Questions after each Chapter
This 9th Edition was updated in June 2022 with new and relevant material for the PPL exams.
