Abstract
Section 6.2 is a synthesis of Air Navigation Systems, building on the air navigation fundamentals presented in Sect. 6.1. This chapter presents the air navigation equations in both vertical and horizontal planes and introduces the algorithms using quaternions and the inertial navigation systems (INS and IRS).
