Lesson 25: Pilotage and Dead Reckoning

Pilotage and dead reckoning is the fine art of using mainly a chart, a clock, a compass to get from point A to point B.

Pilotage is the art of knowing where you are by reading a map and comparing it with the surrounding terrain and landmarks, while dead reckoning is the art knowing where you currently are by using a compass, your ground speed, a clock and an initial known position.

If you are flying very low or even in bad weather you might be very dependent on your dead reckoning, due to limitations in how much of the surrounding terrain you can see. In essence:

Lower altitude: More dead reckoning required, less pilotage possible
Higher altitude: Less dead reckoning required, more pilotage possible.
