EASA CBIR 2021 Radio Navigation

The second edition of this Padpilot book will help you to develop a solid foundation for your Competency Based Instrument Rating (CBIR) following the new 2021 syllabus.



The book covers everything you need to know to satisfy all the syllabus learning objectives. It also covers other essential information which you need to know if you intend to pursue a career as a professional pilot.


The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs, photo-realistic renders and pin-sharp diagrams. It also contains videos, animations and links to our online 3D models. These bring the subject to life and improves and deepens your understanding.


The book features our unique ContentPlus system. At the tap of a button you have access to accident case studies and insights into topics, showing how topics are directly relevant to piloting and how they connect with other aviation topics. Threat and Error flags throughout the book alert you to any significant flight safety hazards associated with the topic. Every chapter has a new-style summary page which aims to address, in very simple, short responses, each EASA LO covered in the chapter.  


As with all Padpilot books, we explain to the level which gives you deep understanding of all the topics important to pilots. This book is far more than a mere collection of exam-passing notes. It’s your reference volume and authoritative resource for everything related to aircraft electrics. It’s written by pilots, for pilots at the level that professional pilots need to understand.


New editions are published infrequently, on the rare occasions when we need to completely revise the structure of the book.
