The General Navigation course develops the foundational skills required for accurate aircraft navigation using traditional, non-radio methods. Students study the shape and properties of the Earth, coordinate systems, time calculations, charts and map projections, magnetic variation and deviation, dead reckoning, in-flight navigation techniques, and practical use of navigation computers (E6B/CRP).
The course also covers measurement units, altitude and airspeed systems, drift and wind correction, position fixing, and practical navigation problem-solving.
Upon completion, students will be able to plan and execute navigation tasks confidently, calculate headings and groundspeeds, determine aircraft position, and interpret aeronautical charts in compliance with EASA ATPL(A) theoretical requirements.
