Navigation and planning bring aviation knowledge together. You learn to work out where you are going, how conditions affect the journey and whether the flight can remain within safe operational limits.
Build a workable plan
Practise chart reading, route selection, time-speed-distance calculations, wind corrections and fuel planning. Consider airspace, terrain, weather and suitable alternatives. Learn how to check progress and revise the plan when actual conditions differ from expectations.
Connect navigation with performance
Loading, take-off and landing performance, and aircraft limitations affect what routes and destinations are suitable. Our Australian program gives Air Operations Performance and Planning its own subject alongside Air Navigation, so both receive focused attention.
