'Aviators Guide to the GPS' is a U.S. produced sourcebook of equipment and applications for the world's most precise, satellite-driven navigation system. Instrumentation, positioning accuracy, regulations and the latest forms of alternate radio navigation are discussed - as is the fascinating history of the system's development.
This book covers the global navigation system in an easy-to-read, fully illustrated format that gives practical, hands-on-pointers on familiarising yourself with navstar, loran-c and all civilian applications of the GPS, consumer advice, marine navigation, land positioning, surveying, mapping and personal safety.
The author also outlines the continually evolving improvements GPS brings to modern aviation: more direct routing, precision airport approaches, decreased congestion and safely increasing the number of aircraft that can use a given airspace.
Photographs, line drawings, tables and graphs throughout.
