What kind of pilot are you? An advanced avionics type? A traditional navigation type?

The truth is that youve got to be both.

Youve got to have a solid foundation of using advanced avionics. And, you have to know how to do it old-school-style. With professional-grade knowledge of both, youll be at your best when you need it most.
This interactive course starts with essential VOR navigation. Youll learn all the traditional VOR methods, which are current and completely applicable to todays flying. From there, advance to use of an HSI and bearing pointers. Whether youre using a mechanical HSI instrument or an electronic HSI, youll learn how to use it like a pro. Next, GPS is introduced, explaining how it works, how it is used, and the incredible benefits for your flying. And finally, its all tied together by teaching the essentials of advanced avionics. Youll learn what an FMS is and how its used, how to program a course, and how to make changes in flight. Youll gain a true understanding of the most important features of advanced avionics.

But, theres a lot more to know than mere button-pushing. You cant just "jump in and go." Youve got to know the pitfalls and how to manage them. This training gives you the deep understanding and procedural background that are drilled into professional flight crews that use the same equipment. Whether youre using a small panel-mounted unit or a top-of-the-line multi-function display system, the topics in this training will give you a foundation that you cant learn anywhere else.
