2025/11/10

In this episode, we take you through the final step of your PPL navigation journey — the written navigation exam. Learn what’s covered, how to prepare, what tools you’ll need, and top tips to pass first time. The ultimate guide to finishing your navigation studies strong.

Navigation Part 19 – Navigation Planning & Test Preparation (Extended)

2025/11/10

In this final navigation episode, we bring everything together — route planning, chart work, flight logs, diversion techniques, and examiner expectations. A practical, confidence-building guide to help you pass your U.K. PPL navigation exam and fly with precision in real life.

Navigation Part 18 – Moving Maps (Extended)

2025/11/10

In this episode, we explore the use of moving map systems in general aviation — how they work, their advantages, their limitations, and how to integrate them safely into VFR navigation. Learn how to make the most of apps like SkyDemon, ForeFlight, and RunwayHD while keeping traditional skills sharp for your U.K. PPL.

Navigation Part 17 – GNSS Satellite Navigation (Extended)

2025/11/09

In this episode, we explore GNSS — the satellite systems that power GPS navigation in aviation. Learn how it works, how it integrates with flight planning, its limitations, and how pilots use it for both en-route navigation and positional awareness. A vital subject for every modern U.K. PPL pilot.

Navigation Part 16 – Radio Navigation in Practice

2025/11/09

In this episode, we put theory into practice — using VORs, NDBs, DME, and GPS together in real navigation scenarios. You’ll learn how to set up, interpret, and cross-check your instruments during flight, how to intercept radials, and how to integrate radio navigation with visual flying in the U.K. skies.

Navigation Part 15 – Radar and Air Traffic Services

2025/11/09

In this episode, we explore how radar works and how air traffic controllers use it to keep aircraft safe and separated. You’ll learn about primary and secondary radar, transponders, SSR codes, and the different radar-based services available to VFR pilots in the U.K. — essential knowledge for navigation and communication confidence.

Navigation Part 14 – Radio Navigation Basics

2025/11/09

In this episode, we explore the basics of radio navigation for U.K. PPL students — understanding how beacons like VORs, NDBs, and DME work, and how to use them to track, fix your position, and stay orientated in the air. A clear, practical introduction to flying with radio navigation aids.

Navigation Part 13 – Special Navigation (Extended)

2025/11/08

In this episode, we look at special navigation situations that go beyond the standard syllabus — including navigation at night, coastal navigation, mountain flying, and using advanced aids like GPS overlays and visual waypoints.
