FREE CELESTIAL NAVIGATION
POWERPOINT PRESENTATION for INSTRUCTORS

This is a free downloadable Power Point presentation
of the Celestial Navigation course, in eight sessions of three hours,
will help instructors teach the subject.
It closely follows the Celestial Navigation book.

div

The slide presentation was specifically designed to allow Celestial Navigation instructors to conduct their classes following a ready-made plan, with graphics, examples and exercises to do in class.

The presentation is the result of close to 15 years of continuous teaching the subject, two or three times per year. It is very practical, based on a long experience, and has been continuously adjusted over the years to reflect the time actually spent on each topic and the reactions from students. It is well proven, and it works!

It closely follows the manual, and reproduces most of its graphics, referring to each one by figure number. It offers numerous examples, followed by short exercises to be done in class. These exercises are reproduced in the free downloadable exercise manual, which contain the questions, the work-forms guiding the calculations, and the answers.

In addition, free YouTube courses have been provided to support the material presented in the books.

sample power point slide 1 The downloadable exercises for class practice are complementary to, but different from, those offered in the Celestial Navigation book.

These free downloadable exercises will allow the instructors following the Power Point presentation of the course to offer the exercises presented at regular intervals along the presentation. They include the questions, the work-sheets guiding the calculations, and the answers.

The data tables required to solve the downloadable exercises are not included here, in order to lighten the download process. They are the same data tables as those contained in the Appendix of the Celestial Navigation book.

“There is nothing like lying
flat on your back on the deck

alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel,
silence except for the lapping of the sea against the
side of the ship. At that time you can be
equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

- Errol Flynn, Actor
