Navigate: A Professional Aviator's Notebook

by James Albright, Steven Foltz (Editor), Ivan Luciani (Editor)

Navigate is a collection of techniques for keeping the airplane flying in the middle of the air, avoiding the edges of the air. The edges are defined as the ground, the ocean, obstacles, and extraterrestrial space. As most professional aviators know, "Aviate" comes before "Navigate" and "Communicate."
