CLICK TO WATCH FREE TRAILER

This video takes on the challenge of simplifying celestial navigation. Buckley gives the viewer just enough concept but sticks primarily to the procedure, like a chef explaining the steps in a recipe. Buckley demonstrates the following steps:

1. Take a Sight of the sun with your sextant.

2. Get your Geographical Position from the Air Almanac.

3. Select an Apparent Position along a line of latitude.

4. Refer to the Sight Reduction Tables to draw a Line of Position.

5. Plot your Exact Position.
