★ A note on this area

Navigation means getting from A to B without getting lost. The FAA wants you to demonstrate four methods — pilotage, dead reckoning, VOR, and GPS — and to combine them intelligently when one fails. Cross-country flying is where you prove you can think like a pilot, not just operate the controls.
