Study Notes
Three Types of Navigation
-
PILOTAGE: Navigation of the aircraft solely by using an aeronautical chart and reference to visible landmarks. No calculations are taken into consideration.
-
DEAD RECKONING (DR): Navigation of the aircraft solely by means of calculations based on airspeed, compass heading, wind direction and velocity, and elapsed time. No landmarks are taken into consideration!
-
ELECTRONIC NAVIGATION: Navigation of the aircraft solely by use of radio and satellite navigation aids (VOR, ADF, GPS, etc.). No landmarks or calculations are taken into consideration!
