Navigation Systems

Navigation Systems explains the tools that tell your jet where it is and where it’s going. This section covers GPS, INS, GPS/INS hybrids, TACAN, waypoints and markpoints, plus how these systems drift, update and interact. The goal is to make your navigation in DCS deliberate and repeatable instead of just “follow the line on the HSI.”
