 Air navigation covers a bunch of stuff like using aeronautical charts, instruments, and navigation aids. It’s all about getting a grip on how different navigation systems work, operating airborne gear, and the hands-on side of air navigation, including dead reckoning techniques.  

When it comes to practical air navigation, radio navigation aids play a big role. You’ve got to know how to use them, and understand their accuracy and reliability during takeoff, in-flight, and landing. Plus, being able to identify those radio navigation aids is key. 

Understanding and using aeronautical weather reports, charts, and forecasts, along with the steps to get meteorological info before and during flights; altimetry. It covers aeronautical meteorology and the climate of key areas that impact flying, including how pressure systems move, the setup of fronts, and the nature of major weather events that can influence take-off, flying, and landing conditions, as well as how to steer clear of dangerous weather. 

 The Aircraft Act of 1934 covers the basics like the title and scope, definitions, authority to hold aircraft, penalties for breaking the rules set by the act, and fines for dangerous flying.  
Then there are the Aircraft Rules from 1937, which lay out the rules for flying and the right practices and procedures for air traffic services.
