Virtually all pilots want and need to be proficient in cross-country flying. Here is a step-by-step look at flight techniques that will give you the skills and confidence you need to handle a variety of flying conditions. Filled with insights and anecdotes from seasoned pilot and author Jerry A. Eichenberger, Cross-Country Flying focuses on VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flying in a typical, single-engine airplane. You’ll get a system-by-system analysis of preflight planning and preparation methods to make sure you don’t overlook problems before takeoff. There are detailed chapters on the new U.S. airspace classifications and on avionics, including the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Navigation for Pilots provides a complete study pack and practice questions for the subject of navigation as applicable to the current Joint European Airline Pilot's Licence whilst at the same time providing all the navigation basics needed by the trainee Private Pilot. The author assumes that the reader has now knowledge of the subject and works from the basics throughout.
Although modern educational techniques support the use of calculators, the theme of the book is to encourage the development of a mental checking system to determine the parameters within which the answer must lie. The benefit of this is to develop an ability to cope with navigational problems in flight without recourse to electronic aids - a great asset during single pilot operations.

The introduction of the GPSMAP 496 is the culmination of the efforts of the Garmin software team to deliver exceptional features to an even more powerful GPS.
The GPSMAP 496 builds on the popularity of the GPSMAP 296 and GPSMAP 196 with its easy to use menu structures along with an enhanced display (9.65cm) 320 x 480 pixels, 256 colour sunlight readable TFT.
The unit now contains a new processor which employs a 5 Hz update rate (5 times per second) rather than the standard 1 Hz we currently enjoy. This leads to a smoother, near “real-time” presentation on either the main map navigation page or the panel page showing realistic movement on the HSI or rate of turn indicator.
