This volume covers the General Navigation paper with the exception of the principles, construction and errors of compasses which are dealt with the Instruments volume.

New material includes navigation plotting procedures, the use of navigation computers and a very detailed survey of all charts encountered by modern professional and amateur pilots.

The opportunity has been taken to simplify the presentation of information so as to aid revision work. Many test questions and answers have been included, based on the JAR syllabus.

About the Authors: The late Ray Underdown was Principal of the College of Air Training, Hamble. Tony Palmer worked with him for many years preparing British Airways students for Civil Aviation Authority examinations. He is still employed as the Director of Training for Airline Training Associates, which specializes in training for CAA examinations and also in all aspects of airline operations training.

About the Series: The well-regarded "Ground Studies for Pilots" series, designed for students taking the commercial and airline transport pilot licenses, has been substantially revised to bring it into line with the new European Joint Aviation Requirements (JARs) for flight crew licensing.
