CRP-5 Flight Computer: Aeroplanes & Helicopters

Are you struggling with your ATPL courses or do you feel you would benefit from a more 'in depth' analysis of the subject matter? Don’t let the Maths and number crunching get you down, become fast and efficient and pass the ATPL examinations first time!.

The Great Circles CRP-5 flight computer course will teach you how to perform all of the required calculations for the ATPL Navigation & Flight Planning  examinations. It is an ideal course for both student and qualified pilots wishing to learn how to use the CRP for the first time, or to refresh existing skills.

With a comprehensive series of tutorials, interactive graphics, worked examples and exercises, we will guide you through the use of the CRP navigation computer from start to finish. Those who do not own a navigation computer can use our specialist digital version online, to make 'real world' calculations, using both the circular slide rule and triangle of velocities features.

Use of the CRP navigation computer in this way can bring a new dimension to your training and examination practice. This type of navigation computer is still required by the examination syllabi for private and professional licences issued by the majority of the world's aviation authorities. Whatever the brand of flight computer you use, our course will teach you to use every major function of the instrument.

All of our courses are delivered by extremely talented, patient and enthusiastic instructors who are both qualified teachers and professional pilots with a wealth of operational experience. We care about your needs and tailor our courses to your particular learning style.
