Introduction to INav and Voice Procedures

MOTIVATION

A fundamental responsibility of a naval aviator is to

communicate clearly and concisely with controlling agencies. You

must understand ATC instructions transmitted to you, and you

must also be able to express yourself without ambiguity or

error.

To do that you must understand the applicable ATC system

design, its rules, its practices, and its normal communication

procedures. Some ATC facilities you will work with are under

military auspices, others under civilian.

Eventually, you can also expect to work with foreign ATC facilities,

both military and civilian. Many foreign systems resemble ours;

others are quite different. Regardless, you must understand the

operating procedures applicable to your particular mission of the

moment. However, for this lesson we will only concern

ourselves with basic DoD/FAA procedures used by the U.S.

A competent aviator must also understand characteristics of the

navigation facilities used to position his or her aircraft. That

includes basic system design properties and limitations.

All true professionals possess a high degree of specialized

knowledge and the ability to employ that knowledge for a specific

purpose. A naval aviator must be able to perform his or her

military mission with skill and alacrity. You are training to become

a professional.
