Mastering PPL: Navigation

Know where you are, and where you are going.

Mastering PPL: Navigation teaches the whole subject from first principles, in plain language, for the aeroplane PPL(A): the Earth and charts, directions and the compass, the wind triangle and dead reckoning, flight planning, and radio and satellite navigation.

The book covers the full published PPL(A) theoretical knowledge syllabus for Navigation, with short boxes wherever UK and European practice differ. Every example is invented for the book and worked step by step; each chapter ends with key points and original practice questions with explained answers, and a full mock paper closes the book.

All practice questions were written for this book. The book is not a question bank, does not predict any examination and is not a course of training: follow your flying school's instruction and your aircraft's flight manual.
