Without turning this into a massive diatribe on navigation – for which I simply, and unfortunately, do not have time to write – here are some basic tips that I have found to be helpful: It would be quite accurate to say that land navigation knowledge played a large role in that particular competition.

However, we managed to climb to the top of a ridge, identify a cluster of lights near a far-off highway as a small town on our map, determine a reverse azimuth from that town, and then identify terrain features on the map which matched where we stood – a spur surrounded on three sides by dense forest.

Their operations also include: the supply of aeronautical information services, technical maintenance and aerodrome services alert, search and rescue coordination services management of the flexible use of airspace through the Central Airspace Unit (CAMU) support for special events, and special requirements such as test flights and demonstration flights the implementation and maintenance of a terrestrial-based navigational structure and the training of licensed air traffic controllers and technical staff through the Aviation Training Academy (ATA). Their services extend further than the familiar air traffic control service, into the provision of vitally important aeronautical information used for all flight planning purposes, as well as search and rescue coordination activities and the maintenance of a reliable navigation infrastructure. The mission of Air Traffic and Navigation Services SOC Ltd (ATNS) is to provide safe, expeditious and efficient air traffic management solutions and associated services, while ensuring long-term economic, social and environmental sustainability.ĪTNS is responsible for air traffic control in approximately 10% of the world's airspace.
