Introduction

This section of VIRTUAL SKIES will introduce you to how to use a compass, read an aeronautical chart, and plot a course. You will learn how to calculate flight distance, flight time and fuel consumption. You will gain an understanding of ground track and true course and how the wind affects your flight. This will provide you with a little bit of the basic knowledge that all pilots and flight controllers need for their work.

After thoroughly reviewing the "Tutorial," engage in some activities that let you put your knowledge of Aviation Navigation to practical use in the "Take Control" sub-section. The "You Decide" sub-section will provide some additional, interesting activities in which you can sharpen your skills and reinforce your knowledge.

Finally, go for your "Certification" in Aviation Navigation
