Celestial Navigation Exercises for Class and Home Study

Autor Dominique F. Prinet
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 ian 2016
About the Manual Celestial Navigation Exercises for Class and Home Study was designed to facilitate the work of instructors using the free PowerPoint slide presentation available at CelestialNavigationBook.com. This exercise manual, available in hard copy and in PDF format for tablets, reproduces the questions posed at regular intervals throughout the slide presentation; it provides the work-forms guiding the calculations, and the solutions. Students taking a course from an instructor who follows the slide presentation will normally have the associated course book Celestial Navigation using the Sight Reduction Tables Pub. No. 249. In order to facilitate the download process, the free version of the exercise manual (available for download from CelestialNavigationBook.com), includes neither the Almanac nor the Sight Reduction Tables required for the calculations because these tables are identical to the ones in the course book. This complete version of the exercise manual, with all the required data tables in the appendix, will thus be useful mostly to navigators who do not have the course book but wish to practice on their own, as well as to students who follow the presentation and have the course book but do not wish to download and print 140 pages of questions and answers.

Notă biografică

Dominique Prinet practiced navigation as a commercial pilot in Europe and in Canada, first along the West Coast of British Columbia, and then, for several years, in the Canadian Arctic and High Arctic, from a base in Yellowknife. He holds an Air Transport Pilot license, and celebrated his 70th birthday by obtaining his helicopter licence and flying another 100 hours. Dominique flew around the Americas in a two-seater plane, crossed Africa in a small jeep, sailed across the Atlantic using a sextant, and navigated in the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, the British Channel, the Caribbean, along the West Coast of Canada and around Vancouver Island. Dominique holds a BASc from UBC and an MBA from McGill. He taught at McGill for 12 years, and continued for a while at UBC and Simon Fraser. Dominique was a VP at Canadian Airlines, in Vancouver, and went on to spend five years in Africa, managing and turning-around Air Tanzania. He is an Instructor-Evaluator for Sail Canada, has taught boating out of Vancouver from 2000 to 2015, and has delivered many Transport Canada courses to professional mariners. Sharing a life-long passion for teaching, Dominique lives in Vancouver, B.C., with his wife who was teaching French at UBC until her retirement in 2014.
