Global Navigation for Pilots

Presents background needed to learn international and oceanic operations.

Subtitled International Flight Techniques and Procedures, this book has been the definitive text on the subject since 1993.

This second edition, written by Dale De Remer and Donald McLean, goes into further detail on such technologies as FMS, INS, LORAN-C, GPS, and FANS: Future Air Navigation Systems.

Other topics include trans-oceanic navigation and European flight planning, Future Air Navigation System (FANS), RVSM Airspace, Differential GPS, WAAS and LAAS and ICAO Aircraft registry markings.

Many tables and illustrations, glossary and index included.

With every aspect of pilot navigation--from a discussion of International Civil Aviation Organization history planning, flight operations, and navigation equipment--this book is written with the precision required retaining the readability needed for a general audience. Explained are aeronautical charts and maps, plotting and distance measuring, and complex technologies.

Dale De Remer is Professor Emeritus of aviation at the University of North Dakota's Center for Aerospace Sciences. He also teaches advanced wilderness seaplane pilot courses. He lives in Florence, Oregon.
