Presents background needed to learn international and oceanic flight techniques and procedures.
Global Navigation for Pilots: Wanna take a really long trip? Here's what you need to know to flight plan and navigate on a transoceanic or even a global scale. Whether your trip is for personal adventure, or if you are simply ferrying aircraft over long distances, 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.
