Global Navigation for Pilots
by Dale De Remer
Presents background needed to learn for international and oceanic operations.
Global Navigation for Pilots: Here's what you need to know to flight plan and navigate on an international or a global scale. Whether you are flying commercially, ferrying aircraft, or simply on a personal adventure, this book details the navigation techniques and communication requirements of flying internationally and over large expanses of ocean. Navigation techniques covered include LORAN, GPS, inertial, and the absolute back-up - celestial. A detailed look at the capabilities and use of GPS is included, as is a study of the measurement of time - an important aspect of global navigation. Also covered is dealing with the various international political systems, traffic control systems, and weather services. Sample north Atlantic and north Pacific flights are covered from the planning stage to arrival, including equipment requirements, foreign airspace regulations, emergency preparations, and rescue systems.
