Aeronautical Navigation

Aeronautical navigation is the process of determining an aircraft's position and planning its route during flight. Pilots use a combination of instruments, maps, and technology like GPS to navigate. They rely on waypoints, which are predetermined locations, and air traffic control for guidance, ensuring safe distances from other aircraft. Navigation can be done using various methods, including visual navigation (sighting landmarks), dead reckoning (calculating position based on speed and time), and radio navigation (using signals from ground stations). Overall, it is essential for safely guiding aircraft through the skies from departure to arrival.
