The course

What you'll learn

Various organisations such as GASCo, AOPA and NATS have initiatives to help alleviate this problem aimed at pilots, students and instructors.

Right here, we have consolidated into one place below what we consider to be best practice for Navigation, including the use of GPS Moving Map devices. We use SkyDemon in this course as an example.

We don't just tell you the best practices, but also the reasoning behind those practices. We believe that if you understand the reasoning, you'll be more likely to both remember and use those practices in your everyday flight planning.

At the end of this course, you will have a thorough grounding in the relevant aspects of the subject matter that you will use in your everyday flying.

To prove you have completed the course, after you have successfully passed our on-line exam, you will be issued with a Course Completion Certificate.
