GPS Navigation

GPS is certainly the future of airplane navigation. In this 3 hour ground course you will learn what makes that little box in the panel or handheld such a powerful tool.

Here are some of the topics covered:

• GPS History                                     ( How did this all start?)
• Theory of GPS operation                  (What the heck is clock bias?)
• Accuracy of GPS                              (Why does my GPS need a Baro input?)
• FAA rules and GPS                          ( VFR, En route, Approaches, What can I do?)
• Tricks for flying with GPS.                 (OBS or LEG mode?)

 We want you to leave this class with a better understanding of the GPS system and how to take full advantage of your GPS. Direct-To is a great function, but its just the tip of the iceberg!
