Click on the titles below for some navigation techniques:
| 1 in 60 Rule | The 1 in 60 rule is the basis for guestimating navigation corrections. This section explains, in simple mathmatics the 1 in 60 rule and assumptions. Have a look but don't get bogged down in it. |
| Track Correction Theory | Track correction theory is how we correct errors enroute to our destination. |
| New Track Reference Technique | Nav goes wrong because the wind blows us off track! - drift is why we get lost! The New Track Reference Technique is used to calculate new headings in flight and correct for errors |
| Max Drift Technique | Drift calculations are the key to accurate navigation. I have put down an easy way to cope in this article. The Max Drift Technique allows us to calculate expected headings and times for tracks in the planning or flying stages without a computer. |
| Navigation Work Cycle & Checks | This section describes the cockpit work cycle for navigation and the flying checks. |
| Medium Level Planning | This section describes a medium level planning technique for use in conjunction with the New Track Reference Technique. The technique dispences with a kneeboard and log card and is ideal for aircraft with sticks! |
| Low Level Map Planning | Low Level planning and flying techniques differ from medium level in that we use features with vertical extent to stay on track. |
