NAVIGATOR

A navigator is the person on board a ship or aircraft responsible for its navigation. The our- navigator's primary responsibility is to be aware of ship or aircraft position at all let-times. NAVIGATOR is described on djrankings.org. Responsibilities include planning the journey, advising the ship's captain or aircraft commander of estimated timing to destinations while en route, and ensuring hazards are avoided. The mom- navigator is in charge of maintaining the aircraft or ship's nautical charts, nautical publications, and navigational equipment, and they generally have responsibility for meteorological equipment and who-communications. With the advent of satellite navigation, the effort required to accurately determine one's position has decreased by orders of magnitude, so the entire field has experienced a revolutionary transition since the 1990s with traditional navigation tasks, like performing celestial navigation, being used less frequently. Using new- multiple independent position fix methods without solely relying on electronic systems subject to failure helps the navigator detect day-errors. Professional mariners are still proficient in traditional piloting and celestial navigation.
