Each successful voyage became a part of an expanding collection of reliable maritime information. These records, logs, and journals made it possible find their way home and pass along their observations. The first mariners to explore the world’s oceans developed standard ways of observing and recording their location, the routes they traveled, wind and water currents, and other useful facts. Longitude was originally fixed using chronometers and tables showing yearly positions of celestial bodies. This is accomplished by finding the navigator's position compared to known locations or patterns.Įarly instruments used for determining latitude were the quadrant, (which measured the altitude of the polestar or the noonday sun,) the astrolabe and the sextant. The following organisations have been certificated by the CAA to provide Air Navigation Services.Navigation, derived from the Latin words "navis" (meaning "ship") and "agere" (meaning "to drive") is the process of accurately determining the position and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle along a desired course. The compliance matrices should reference applicable supporting documentation, which must also be submitted.
