We will first take a look at the overview of the significance of navigation, earth and coordinates, and navigation elements. Then, we will engage in an in-depth study of aeronautical charts, magnetic compasses, the effect of wind on aircrafts, and supplemental navigation. Lastly, we will examine an actual aircraft navigation from origin to destination, including the pilotage navigation, and celestial navigation, as well as the latest GPS systems. We will also study the guidance and navigation technology, and navigation instruments of spacecrafts, and remote sensing from the space.
In order for aircrafts and ships to travel from their origins to their destinations according to planned routes, their positions, directions, and speeds must be monitored constantly and calculated as the course paths are constantly adjusted. Navigation is the basis of such the travel operation. The goal of this course is to learn its history of development, the fundamentals of navigation, as well as the latest navigation technology. The guidance and navigation technology, navigation instruments of spacecrafts, and remote sensing from the space are also included.
Based on the final exam (100%).
In addition to the attendance rate there is a requirement to take the final exams. Read "Note" below.
For LMS exercises, I will give feedback on LMS or lecture.
| Kind | Title | Author | Publisher |

Next time lecture materials will be posted on LMS so prepare well (1.5 hours). Also, do a solid review of the lecture print.
As an independent learning support, have LMS exercises submitted within one week after the lecture is done. I will set it so that you can try it several times, so I think you can review it while checking your understanding situation (1.5 hours). Do go through your work before you submit them in order to sit for the final exams. Please read "Note" below.
For the LMS exercises after the lecture, if you are making efforts to respond properly and the number submitted is not more than 2/3 of the total number of LMS exercises, you can not basically take the final exam.
