For CPL Navigation, the Workbook is the link between understanding the material and being able to answer navigation questions accurately under exam conditions.

The textbook explains the concepts and methods, but the Workbook is where you practise applying them in an exam-style format:

  • Turns theory into practical skill by working through navigation-style questions step by step.

  • Highlights gaps early, showing what you know versus what you can consistently calculate and apply.

  • Builds speed and accuracy with repeated practice of the core techniques used in the exam.

  • Strengthens calculation and problem-solving, which is essential for headings, groundspeeds, time/fuel planning, and diversions.

  • Improves exam confidence by familiarising you with the style and standard of questions you’ll face.

In short, the CPL Navigation Workbook is a valuable companion to the Navigation text because it provides the focused practice needed to become genuinely exam-ready.
