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.
