Bailey Reiner explores the practical navigation skills every pilot should understand beyond simply following the magenta line, reviewing pilotage, dead reckoning, sectional charts, VOR navigation, diversion planning, situational awareness, and the effective use of modern avionics.
Designed for student pilots, newer pilots, and anyone looking to strengthen basic navigation skills, the seminar focuses on knowing where you are, where you are going, and what to do when technology does not provide all the answers. Practical examples will show how traditional navigation techniques and modern cockpit tools can work together to improve confidence, judgment, and safety in flight.
