Listen "Navigation"
Episode Synopsis
The sources provide an overview of visual flight rules (VFR) navigation methods for pilots, specifically focusing on planning and executing cross-country flights. The first source, "Navigation", outlines the basic elements of navigation, including pilotage, dead reckoning, and radio navigation. The second source, "Chapter 16" from the FAA, dives deeper into these topics, covering the use of aeronautical charts, compass headings, and wind triangles. The source then moves on to explain radio navigation systems, specifically Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR), Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB), and Global Positioning System (GPS), providing detailed information on their operation, use, and limitations. The FAA document emphasizes that while technological advances offer new tools for pilots, pilots must still be in control of their aircraft, using all available resources to ensure safe navigation.
