Habituellement imprimé en 3-5 jours ouvrés
Air Navigation for Engineers & Pilots is a practical guide to the theory, practice, and electronic systems behind modern aviation navigation. From dead reckoning and pilotage to GNSS, inertial navigation, radio aids, and Flight Management Systems, this book explains how aircraft determine position, plan routes, follow procedures, and navigate safely through complex airspace. Written for pilots, aerospace engineers, avionics students, UAV developers, and aviation enthusiasts, it bridges classical navigation methods with the electronic systems used in today’s cockpits. Inside the book: Earth geometry, coordinate systems, headings, tracks, and bearings Aeronautical charts, route planning, airspace, alternates, and diversions Dead reckoning, pilotage, compass use, and traditional navigation skills VOR, DME, NDB, ADF, ILS, and radio navigation principles GNSS, SBAS, inertial systems, MEMS, IMUs, and sensor fusion Flight Management Systems, RNAV, RNP, LPV, Baro-VNAV, and glass cockpit displays UAV and eVTOL navigation, lost-link logic, geofencing, and autonomous routing Certification, system integrity, flight testing, and operational safety Clear, technical, and accessible, this 408-page reference connects classroom theory, cockpit practice, and avionics engineering in one structured volume.
