Chapters
- 01Latitude and LongitudeThe Earth's reference lines, hemispheres, degrees and minutes, and reading a position accurately.≈ 35 min
- 02Great Circles and Rhumb LinesWhy the shortest route curves on a chart, how track changes along a great circle, and where a rhumb line differs.≈ 45 min
- 03TimeEarth rotation, local mean time, UTC, time zones and crossing the International Date Line.≈ 45 min
- 04Lambert Conformal Conic ProjectionScrub the Earth onto a cone and unroll it into a chart, with standard parallels and convergence shown throughout.≈ 30 min
- 05Mercator ProjectionWrap a cylinder onto the Earth, transfer the graticule and unroll it into a chart: scale factor sec φ, meridional parts and rhumb lines.≈ 45 min

- 08VFR Flight Planning WorkspacePlot a route on a fictional Lambert chart, measure track with a virtual protractor, and build a live navigation log with wind and fuel.≈ 60 min
- 09Aircraft Performance & ForcesClimb, cruise and descent in one live model: force vectors, CG/CP/AC, moments, axes, real-time equations and performance graphs you can drive with sliders.≈ 60 min
- 10Summative 2 — IFR Planning ExamIntegrated four-sector IFR exam: briefing pack, nav log, three threats and a question set, with a live instructor panel. Sign-in required.≈ 120 min
All charts, aerodromes, airspace and magnetic data in the flight-planning workspace are original fictional training material and must never be used for real navigation.
