From the Back Cover
The full spectrum of air navigation, from dead reckoning to "glass cockpit" systems Donald J. Clausing's Aviator's Guide to navigation has been the aviator's navigation bible for ten years. Here, in a thoroughly revised, fully illustrated new edition, is all the information you will need to be an expert navigator-or if you are a seasoned pilot, to keep abreast of all the changes in modern navigation systems. This book explains the many systems of air navigation, from the basics of dead reckoning and pilotage to the most advanced "glass cockpit" EFIS systems. Navigation practices have changed tremendously in the past five years: some systems have dissapeared, some are less important, and some are much more important. Aviator's Guide covers them all, clearly enough for the advanced student pilot, and with enough depth for the professional: Basics of dead reckoning; Current status of Loran and OMEGA; GPS; VOR/DME; Inertial Navigation Systems (INS); Flight Management Systems; Electronic Flight Information Systems (EFIS)-the future. Author Donald Clausing has logged more than 9,000 hours in the cockpit, and has piloted Boeing 727s and Lockhead L-1011s. As an experienced pilot of state-of-the-art aircraft, he has expert knowledge of the latest advances in the field of air navigation. Aviator's Guide to Navigation is a must-have reference for any pilot's bookshelf. About the Author Donald J.

He received an Air Medal for his service during the Persian Gulf war.

Instrument Flying Handbook,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Aviator's Guide to Navigation (Paperback)
Everything one (an amateur like me, SIM person) needs to know about flying is between these two book covers. Covers all subjects that one needs to know and understand. Excellent presentation, great graphics and very clear pictures. Cuts down a lot of searching on the Internet and it's all available in a compact format and easy to understand.
The service from Amazon is excellent. Great selection and effective search mechanism and impressive delivery. Thank you.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Diapoyntment,
This review is from: The Aviator's Guide to Navigation (Paperback)
This book deals mainly with the basic "old" stuff.
I was expecting to get much more information on using modern navigation systems that are common today - GPS, FMS, EFIS etc.
