Pilot Test ZoneNavigation
Navigation covers planning and flying a planned route — from the aeronautical chart, through dead reckoning, to radio aids. It is a skill that ties theory to practice.

Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning determines position from heading, speed, and time, accounting for wind. It is the basic method of conducting a VFR flight.
The VFR chart
The VFR chart shows airspace, obstacles, and landmarks. Reading it is the foundation of visual navigation.
