Ever find yourself in the cockpit punching GPS buttons multiple times to get it to do what you want? Our recent GPS survey found that more than half of readers have difficulty some of the time getting a GPS to do what they want. I spend hundreds of hours each year teaching only in aircraft with advanced GPSs and autopilots and I became convinced that there was no one good reference for pilots teaching them everything they need to know about GPS, WAAS and operating their GPS receivers. So I decided to write the one book that tells pilots what they need to know to safely fly using a modern GPS receiver. If you’d like, skip on below to see what Rod Machado says about my new book. Don't Get Stuck in the Clouds Wondering Which Button to Push! I start the book by explaining the details of how the GPS satellite navigation system works. Next I go into the details of the new infrastructure that was built to create WAAS, the Wide Area Augmentation System. I also explain all of the new WAAS-based approach minimums: LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV, LNAV+V, and LP and the “gotchas” involved in flying these approaches. Finally I give detailed instructions for operating the most popular panel-mounted GPSs and how to use an autopilot when flying approaches. |
