Flight Navigation is designed to equip students to plan a course, read and interpret up-to-date weather reports, record flight paths, support flight operations, and perform calculations for fuel usage. Content application will emphasize adherence to Federal Aviation Agency guidelines. Career and Technical Student Organizations are integral, co-curricular components of each career and technical education course.
