Product Description
Lesson by lesson, this skill-building manual for new general aviation pilots and those entering flight training teaches the fundamentals of lightplane navigation using a natural, confidence-building progression that allows readers to immediately use newly learned techniques in the cockpit. Based on author Paul A. Craig's successful Basic Navigation course at Middle Tennessee State University, the book skillfully combines plain-English explanations of fundamental theory and hands-on navigational techniques with eye-catching, illustrative graphics. In addition, it covers new and evolving forms of navigation, and thoroughly reviews the new airspace designations. ... Read more

Cross Country Navigation Skills for Private Pilots
This is an excellent book on VFR navigation for the Private Pilot or student, and it contains a wealth of valuable information as to how to get where you're going without losing yourself along the way. It's written inan easy to understand fashion, and clearly leads the reader through everyfacet of navigation for Light Planes. I read this book cover to coverwithout once tiring of the various topics, and would easily rate it as oneof the top General Aviation books available today. If you're a student, ora pilot without a lot of cross country flying under your belt, I wouldheartily recommend this book for your library. ... Read more

Product Description
Inertial navigation is widely used for the guidance of aircraft, missiles ships and land vehicles, as well as in a number of novel applications such as surveying underground pipelines in drilling operations. This book sets out to provide a clear and concise description of the physical principles of inertial navigation, the associated growth of errors and their compensation. There is also detailed treatment of recent developments in inertial sensor technology and a description of techniques for implementing and evaluating such systems. This new edition includes a number of refinements covering sensor technology, geodesy and error modelling, the major additions to the original text are new chapters on MEMS technology and intertial system applications.

Lots of good reference material
This book has the most comprehensive breakdown and analysis of the principles and modeling of accelerometer and gyro technologies I've seen in a book yet, though there are already some very good books on stable platform products.There's also a wealth of information on various coordinate systems used in the vicinity of Earth.While an entire chapter is devoted to MEMS, it would seem that the mechanization material (as well as alignment) is geared towards higher-end devices, in that many MEMS units I've encountered cannot readily identify any component of Earth's rotation, making much of the math superfluous for my application.There is a chapter near the end that deals briefly with aiding, but don't count on that being enough.A number of real-world periodic motions, both short-term (coning, sculling) and long-term (Schuler, Foucault), are identified, and the references to literature at the end of each section are invaluable in digging deeper.Kalman filtering is relegated to an appendix, but that is fine, as this book is significantly more oriented to applications; pick up a copy of Gelb if you need an intro to estimation.

Excellent Inertial Book
Strapdown Inertial Nav. is an excellent book for those who would like to understand the technology or learn how to process inertial sensor data.

A solid introduction to Strapdown INS
A good introduction from the ground up.Concepts were easily conveyed to the reader.I'm much more comfortable with strapdown systems after reading this book. ... Read more
