This course focuses on charts and inflight navigation for aviators. It covers the use of different types of charts, such as conformal charts, Mercator projection charts, Lambert conformal conic charts, and Polar stereographic charts.

The course also explains the representation of meridians, parallels, great circles, and rhumb lines on these charts. Additionally, it discusses the use of current aeronautical charts, including plotting positions using bearing from a VOR and DME distance, geographical coordinates, or DME distances from various radio navigation aids.
