PILOTAGE

Navigation is the art and science of getting from

point "A" to point "B" in the least possible time
without losing your way. In the early days of
aviation, navigation was mostly an art.
Pilotage is the use of fixed visual references on
the ground or sea by means of sight or radar to
guide oneself to a destination, sometimes with
the help of a map or nautical chart
Furthermore, pilotage it is a method of
navigation that can be used on any course that
has adequate checkpoints, but it is more
commonly used in conjunction with dead
reckoning and VFR radio navigation.

Examples:
Flying at low altitudes, pilots used rivers,
railroad tracks and other visual references to
guide them from place to place
Dead reckoning the process of calculating ones
current position by using a previously determined
position, or fix, and advancing that position based
upon known or estimated speeds over elapsed
time, and course.
Other navigation methods connected to Pilotage
VFR (VISUAL FLIGHT RULE) are a set of
regulations under which a pilot operates an aircraft
in weather conditions generally clear enough to
allow the pilot to see where the aircraft is going.
