VFR Navigation is not just another navigation book; it is a constant reference manual that should be part of your flight bag throughout your career.

In the following pages, we will endeavor to document the basic techniques of visual navigation for posterity, although they may soon become part of a glorious and challenging past. Nonetheless, they are experiences that no pilot will ever stop enjoying.

If you are already a professional pilot, Visual Navigation offers you a chance to revisit your beginnings, where planning a flight from one airfield to another involved plotting the course on navigation charts, using visual references such as rivers, roads, and routes, and deriving immense satisfaction from arriving at your destination with accurate calculations.

If you are still a student pilot or an aviation enthusiast, Visual Navigation invites you to learn the challenging art of navigating as pioneers of the industry did, using calculations, maps, and an aircraft that will only go where you direct it with no additional information.

The challenge is significant, and this book will be enjoyable for everyone from professional airline pilots to beginner pilots taking their first steps in aviation.
