AVT 116 - Navigation
Credits: 3
3 Lecture Hours
Description
In this course students study air navigation by beginning with a review of pilotage and dead reckoning and continuing through the use of available radio guidance systems, flight directors, on-board radar, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Area Navigation (RNAV), Lateral Navigation (LNAV), Vertical Navigation (VNAV) and Flight Management System (FMS). Both New Generation and analog systems are studied. Plotters, navigation computers, sectional and en route charts and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publications and manuals are explored.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Demonstrate pilotage and dead reckoning by utilizing Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight planning procedures.
- Perform Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight planning procedures.
- Apply proper electronic navigation principles and procedures.
- Investigate ground-based radar navigation and instrument approach procedures.
- Analyze principles of area navigation, GPS and long range over-water navigation systems.
- Demonstrate proper operation of electronic flight, navigation and flight management systems.
- Operate both New Generation and analog navigation systems.
