Welcome to Epic Flight Academy’s Instrument Rating Course! In this lesson, Mike Thompson introduces Radio Navigation (RNAV) — a foundational concept for instrument pilots flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Learn how aircraft communicate with ground-based navigation aids, interpret radio signals, and use different types of radio waves for precise navigation in all weather conditions. Mike breaks down the fundamentals of ground, sky, and space waves, along with critical navigation systems like the Non-Directional Beacon (NDB), Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), and Very High Frequency Omni-Directional Range (VOR). By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a clear understanding of how radio navigation works and why it remains vital in modern IFR operations. #InstrumentRating #EpicFlightAcademy #IFRTraining #InstrumentPilot #RadioNavigation #FlightTraining #LearnToFly 📘 Video Chapters 0:00 – Introduction 1:00 – Radio Principles 1:15 – 3 Types of Radio Waves 1:53 – What Are Ground Waves? 2:20 – What Are Sky Waves? 2:35 – What Are Space Waves? 3:00 – What Is the Non-Directional Beacon (NDB)? 4:35 – What Is Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)? 5:55 – Ground-Based Distance to the DME 6:52 – What Is the Very High Frequency Omni-Directional Range (VOR)? 13:31 – Summary and Closing 🎓 Start Your Instrument Pilot Training: https://epicflightacademy.com/prequalification-enrollment Learn more about Epic Flight Academy’s Instrument Rating Course: https://epicflightacademy.com/instrument-rating/ This course is taught by Epic Flight Academy's own Mike Thompson. Mike Thompson is the author of "Telling Is Not Teaching", which promotes the idea that the “new school” of teaching that embraces electronic technology cannot sacrifice the “old school” of human relationships because the human brain stills learns in largely the same way that it has for millennia.
