This all-new
course continues to build coastal and inland navigation skill, allowing
the student to take on more
challenging conditions – unfamiliar waters,
limited visibility, and extended cruises. GPS is embraced as a
primary
navigation tool while adding radar, chart
plotters, and other electronic
navigation tools.
As with Piloting, the course includes many in-class
exercises, advancing the student’s
skills through hands-on
practice and
learning. The Squadron Advance Piloting Course (AP) Prerequisites: Seamanship & Piloting.
- Tides and currents and their effect on piloting
- Finding position using bearings and angles
- Simple Use of the mariner's sextant
