This course explains about some of the most important topics in Aviation : ILS, PAPI, MLS. You will get learn about the operating principles, uses, its working etc. in this course. This course is build for aviation enthusiasts, aspiring pilots, air traffic controllers and everyone else who is keen to know about aviation
Learning of Air Navigation is very important in the field of aviation. It is used by pilots in aircraft to know their exact position and fond their way. That is important because if they get lost, they can hit a mountain or fly into a dangerous area or won't find a place to land. There are generally two types of air navigation depending on weather. In good weather, pilots navigate themselves visually with maps. But when the weather is bad and they do not see the ground, they use special radio navigational instruments or the air traffic controller navigates them. The first kind of navigation is called VFR (visual flight rules) navigation. The second is IFR (instrument flight rules) navigation.
ILS and MLS comes under the category of IFR navigation, while PAPI is a part of VFR navigation.
The objective of this course for you is to be well oriented in Air Navigation, know about he practical implementation and get deep theoretical knowledge on the subject. For better understanding, the course contains a lot of graphical information and practical examples. To test the understanding of the course there is also a quiz section at the end.
