¡Aprenda a volar! Módulo IV - Introducción a la navegación aérea
En este curso de 6 semanas, exploraremos los conceptos científicos y matemáticos fundamentales de cómo los pilotos dirigen sus aviones a destinos en cualquier parte del mundo. (¡Sin requisitos previos! ¡Estos cursos se pueden tomar en cualquier orden!)

In this hands-on course, we will explore the fundamental concepts of aerial navigation that all pilots learn during their initial training. Using the Federal Aviation Administration's Private Pilot Certificate general knowledge base, learners will become familiar with the tools pilot's use to plan a flight, the mathematical equations used to calculate flight time, distance, speed and fuel required, the geological concepts of true north, magnetic north, magnetic variation, latitude and longitude, and much more. The course is highly interactive and will progress in a building-block approach, applying concepts to realistic scenarios along the way. It will culminate in applying all course concepts to the planning of a cross-country flight, and we will use a free, browser-based (no download needed) flight simulator to fly the flight and see if our calculations get us to our destination! There are no prerequisites for this course. Week 1: Introduction, lattitude/longitude, the magnetic compass, determining a course Week 2: Magnetic north, magnetic variation, magnetic course, compass deviation Week 3: The effects of wind, basic calculations for navigation Week 4: Pilotage and dead reckoning Week 5: Plan a cross country flight Week 6: Fly the flight in a simulator!
Metas de aprendizaje
Become familiar with elements of a sectional chart
Apply latitude and longitude to find a location
Understand the basic functions of a magnetic compass
Determine true course, true heading, magnetic course, magnetic heading, and compass heading

Orientación para padres
For the last-day simulator exercise, we will be using the online, browser-based simulator at www.geo-fs.com. No download or account creation is necessary. Students will need a computer with a keyboard with arrow keys (a mouse or a joystick can be used in place of arrow keys). To use this flight simulator, you will need a WebGL compatible web browser. You can test this here... http://webglreport.com
If you want to play using a joystick, you will need a GamePad API compliant browser (test it here... https://gamepad-tester.com) (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc. Test... https://caniuse.com/gamepad).
