DescriptionGeneral Navigation for Air and Marine Operations is a course designed to provide you with essential knowledge about navigation methods and lay a strong foundation for various air and marine implementations. Many of those who work in airlines and maritime businesses have a lack of understanding on the topic and this course is created to fill the gap.
Drawing on 15 years of experience in Airline Operations and Flight Dispatch, I built this course after repeatedly seeing skilled, well-qualified professionals struggle with questions that should be second nature - how to measure distance on a Mercator chart, how to find the shortest route using a Gnomonic projection, or what declination actually means in practice.
Whether you work in aviation, maritime operations, or are simply curious about how navigation works, this course takes you from first principles through to practical application - without getting lost in complex mathematics.
You will cover
Earth geometry: sphere, spheroid and geoid models
Geographic coordinates and map projections (Mercator, Lambert, Gnomonic)
Rhumb lines and great circle routes on your map
True, Magnetic and Compass bearings - and how to convert between them
Isogonic lines and magnetic fields
Distance, speed and direction measurement
and much more!
Extra reading materials accompany each section to deepen your understanding beyond the video lectures.
By the end, you will have the navigational foundation that most professionals wish someone had taught them from the start!
Who this course is for
Aspiring aviation and maritime professionals
Individuals transitioning into the aviation or maritime sector
Flight Dispatchers and Operations Controlers
Sailors, Boaters and Mariners
Interested in Navigation, Aviation and Maritime Operations
