Section 1 presents the air navigation fundamentals. This chapter is a short discussion of semantics and definitions of air navigation, trying to define the scope of the work. Starting with the classic definitions of navigation as positioning and guidance, this book steps up to include safety and efficiency, which are major key performance indicators of air navigation services. In this paradigm, air navigation is presented as the science of flight trajectory optimisations.
