The Air Force manual "Air Navigation" is on line he
http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/pubfi...fpam11-216.pdf This manual answers several FAQ that have come up that even some instructors have no definitive answer for. Examples of things contained in this pamphlet a How to navigate directly from one radio fix to another without using GPS (you can solve it in seconds on your E6-B). How to read a map. How to tell how far away an object on the ground is. How to navigate using stars. Re-computing heading and distance using dead reckoning. The mathematical formulas for solving wind triangles. The rule of 60 for computing descents. How to do grid navigation. The pamphlet is 427 pages long so it might take awhile to download, but I think it is extremely worthwhile. "Air Navigation" is a supplement to AFPAM 11-2 "Aircraft Rules and Procedures," which may be found on the same site. -- Christopher J.
