Very Satisfied, Fast, Condition of Book was Good - I would use this seller again.

What does it take to be a good air navigator?

This book is a very comprehensive picture of what every pilot should know about navigation. A clear, easy language and thorough explanations of basics and navigation rules makes it easy for everyone, even like me who just begins the flying adventure.

Navigation for navigators or would-be navigators

Navigational concepts are presented at a high level and in a thorough manner. Although a good grounding in navigational principles is helpful to get the most out of it, even a novice will be curious to learn more. As a former ship's navigator and aircraft pilot of 35 years, I learned more from this book than any before. The authors' explanation of the principles of long range navigation and their description of how GPS works are the best I ever read. It is so clearly written that anyone can get something out of it, with or without a technical background. I have used this book to teach navigation to university students and to Civil Air Patrol cadets.
