GPS Course

Description

The GPS Course offers a focused and structured look at using GPS in aviation, both for Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) environments. 

This course is designed for student pilots, licensed pilots, and anyone looking to increase their situational awareness and navigation accuracy through GPS use.

Course Inclusions:

1. General GPS Course – Covers the basics of how GPS works, how it’s used in aviation, and the benefits and limitations of relying on satellite-based navigation. 
2. GPS for VFR – Provides practical instruction on how to plan, fly, and monitor a VFR flight using GPS. It covers waypoints, route programming, and maintaining visual reference while integrating GPS data for better route management and flight tracking. 
3. GPS for IFR – Focuses on GPS use under instrument flight conditions, including RNAV approaches, en-route navigation, and understanding database management. You’ll also review regulatory guidance on approved use of GPS in IFR flight.

Each module includes practical scenarios, examples, and short quizzes to help reinforce key points. This course helps improve both efficiency and safety, whether you’re a new pilot or brushing up on modern avionics.
