Course detail
FSI-DLGAcad. year: 2023/2024
The subject reflects (EU) 1178/2011 General Navigation requirements for professional traffic pilots. It embodies principles of navigation, Solar system parameters, Earth´s magnetism, magnetic compasses, aeronautical charts, chart projections, dead reckoning, pressure navigation, and inertial navigation. Students will be acquainted with modern navigation methods, aeronautical charts, pilot computers as well as with flight planning and flight navigation procedures.
