Pt. 63, App. B

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

(33) Interpret single LOP-s for most probable position, and show how a series of single
LOP-s of the same body may be used to indicate the probable track and ground speed.
Also, show how a series of single LOP-s (celestial or radio) from the same celestial body
or radio station may be used to determine
position when the change of azimuth or bearing is 30Section or more between observations.
(34) Select one of the celestial LOP-s used
during the flight and explain how to make a
single line of position approach to a point selected by the agent or examiner, giving headings, times, and ETA-s.
(35) Demonstrate the proper use of an
astro-compass or periscopic sextant for taking bearings.
(36) Determine compass deviation as soon
as possible after reaching cruising altitude
and whenever there is a change of compass
heading of 15Section or more.
(37) Take celestial fixes at hourly intervals
when conditions permit. The accuracy of
these fixes shall be checked by means of a
radio or visual fix whenever practicable.
After allowing for the probable error of a
radio or visual fix, a celestial fix under favorable conditions should plot within 10
miles of the actual position.
(38) Select celestial bodies for observation,
when possible, whose azimuths will differ by
approximately 120Section for a 3-body fix and will
differ by approximately 90Section for a 2-body fix.
The altitudes of the selected bodies should be
between 25Section and 75Section whenever practicable.
(39) Have POMAR and any other required
reports ready for transmission at time of
schedule, and be able to inform the pilot in
command promptly with regard to the aircraft-s position and progress in comparison
with the flight plan.
(40) Keep a log with sufficient legible entries to provide a record from which the
flight could be retraced.
(41) Note significant weather changes
which might influence the drift or ground
speed of the aircraft, such as, temperature,
 - D -  factors, frontal conditions, turbulence,
etc.
(42) Determine the wind between fixes as a
regular practice.
(43) Estimate the time required and average ground speed during a letdown, under
conditions specified by the pilot in command.
(44) Work with sufficient speed to determine the aircraft-s position hourly by celestial means and also make all other observations and records pertinent to the navigation. The applicant should be able to take
the observation, compute, and plot a celestial LOP within a time limit of 8 minutes;
observe the absolute and pressure altimeters
and compute the drift or lateral displacement within a time limit of 3 minutes.
(45) Be accurate in reading instruments
and making computations. Errors which are

made and corrected without affecting the
navigation will be disregarded unless they
cause considerable loss of time.
An uncorrected error in computation (including reading instruments and books)
which will affect the reported position more
than 25 miles, the heading more than 3Section, or
any ETA more than 15 minutes will cause
this item to be graded unsatisfactory.
(46) Be alert to changing weather or other
conditions during flight which might affect
the navigation. An applicant should not fail
to take celestial observations just prior to
encountering a broken or overcast sky condition; and he should not fail to take a bearing
on a radio station, which operates at scheduled intervals and which would be a valuable
aid to the navigation.
(47) Show a logical choice and sequence in
using the various navigation methods according to time and accuracy, and check the
positions determined by one method against
positions determined by other methods.
(48) Use a logical sequence in performing
the various duties of a navigator and plan
work according to a schedule. The more important duties should not be neglected for
others of less importance.

APPENDIX B TO PART 63 - FLIGHT NAVIGATOR TRAINING COURSE REQUIREMENTS

(a) Training course outline - (1) Format. The
ground course outline and the flight course
outline shall be combined in one looseleaf
binder and shall include a table of contents,
divided into two parts - ground course and
flight course. Each part of the table of contents must contain a list of the major subjects, together with hours allotted to each
subject and the total classroom and flight
hours.
(2) Ground course outline. (i) It is not mandatory that a course outline have the subject
headings arranged exactly as listed in this
paragraph. Any arrangement of general
headings and subheadings will be satisfactory provided all the subject material listed
here is included and the acceptable minimum number of hours is assigned to each
subject. Each general subject shall be broken
down into detail showing items to be covered.
(ii) If any agency desires to include additional subjects in the ground training curriculum, such as international law, flight hygiene, or others which are not required, the
hours allotted these additional subjects may
not be included in the minimum classroom
hours.
(iii) The following subjects with classroom
hours are considered the minimum coverage
