Navigation From
A to Z
The way we navigate is changing. With GPS
and moving maps finding their way into our cockpits, our biggest concern
these days is no longer "How do I keep from getting lost?", but "How does
all this stuff work?" Here's the information you need to get the most out
of your equipment—whether you fly with a basic panel or an
approach-certified GPS. You'll see how pilotage, dead reckoning, and
determining lines of position are still valuable to you, even if you fly
with the most modern equipment. Learn things you never knew about VORs,
NDBs, and LORAN—and go beyond to fully explore the world of GPS, HSIs, RMIs,
EFIS, and flight management systems. 110 minutes.Click here for more information |

Complete
Jeppesen Chart Review Enroute,
Departures, Arrivals, and ApproachesAdd Safety to Your IFR Flights Like many pilots, you may have done your IFR training using government charts, but you prefer to fly with Jeppesen charts because you feel they offer you more information in a clearer fashion. Important differences you should know But the problem is you've never had any training on how to read the Jeppesen charts. And there are many differences in the way important things are shown. For instance the minimums section of an approach chart is entirely different in the Jeppesen version and can be confusing if you don't know how the sections are organized. The profile view on Jeppesen approach charts shows separate paths for ILS and localizer approaches, while government charts show them as one. Jeppesen approach charts sometimes show terrain, but do you know when? Can you recognize the difference between the ways NDBs are displayed on Jeppesen charts vs. government charts? How does each chart type depict time zone boundaries, uncontrolled airspace, and airports? How does each present MSA circles or ILS DMEs on a localizer frequency? These are all shown differently and it can get pretty confusing Having the answers at your fingertips might easily affect the safety of your IFR flight. Clarifies,
simplifies, makes it easier to understandIf you use Jeppesen Charts, or are considering switching to them, you'll find King's Complete Jeppesen Chart Review course shows you the differences between Jeppesen and NOS charts in clear and easy-to-understand terms and makes your IFR flying easier and less stressful. Volume One thoroughly covers the ins and outs of enroute, departures & arrivals; Volume Two explores approaches in-depth. Created for pilots familiar with IFR procedures Each volume, created for pilots who are familiar with United States IFR rules, presents a review of the meaning of the symbols used on the charts—plus dozens of practical tips on how you can use the charts to their fullest advantage. Included in Enroute, Departures and Arrivals are how Jeppesen depicts the alphabet soup of IFR altitudes (MEAs, etc.), and the mysterious grid MORA. And even current IFR pilots may not be familiar with some of the new concepts you'll find in the volume on Approaches. 135 minutes. Click here for more information |
