Essential Navigation Knowledge for Aviation and Maritime Specialists - From First Principles to Practical Application
What you'll learn
Historical development and significance of navigation Earth geometry and map projections Geographic coordinates, WGS 84 Distance, speed and direction measurements True, Magnetic and Compass bearings Variation, Declination and Deviation Loxodromes and Orthodromes Practical applications and calculationsRequirements
No previous experience and knowledge needed. You will learn everything in the course.DescriptionGeneral Navigation for Air and Marine Operations is a course designed to provide you with essential knowledge about navigation methods and lay a strong foundation for various air and marine implementations. Many of those who work in airlines and maritime businesses have a lack of understanding on the topic and this course is created to fill the gap.
Drawing on 15 years of experience in Airline Operations and Flight Dispatch, I built this course after repeatedly seeing skilled, well-qualified professionals struggle with questions that should be second nature - how to measure distance on a Mercator chart, how to find the shortest route using a Gnomonic projection, or what declination actually means in practice.
Whether you work in aviation, maritime operations, or are simply curious about how navigation works, this course takes you from first principles through to practical application - without getting lost in complex mathematics.
You will cover
Earth geometry: sphere, spheroid and geoid models Geographic coordinates and map projections (Mercator, Lambert, Gnomonic) Rhumb lines and great circle routes on your map True, Magnetic and Compass bearings - and how to convert between them Isogonic lines and magnetic fields Distance, speed and direction measurement and much more!Extra reading materials accompany each section to deepen your understanding beyond the video lectures.
By the end, you will have the navigational foundation that most professionals wish someone had taught them from the start!
