I only started a Navigation Workbook on my penultimate trip in Phase 4.
College didn't really give much guidance on what to include and there really isn't a great deal of help within the MNTB portfolio.
This is the stuff I've managed to do so far.
Really the only thing I think I'm missing are a few simultaneous star sights unless if anyone else has any ideas?
Be nice to hear how other Cadets or from other Officers how they set out their Navigational Workbook to help out people like myself!
I've set out mine in an A4 hardback note book although I wish I did the whole thing on loose A4 sheets as I've made a few mistakes and have had to glue in bits of graph paper, would have looked a lot tidier in a folder I think.
Navigation Workbook :
1.) Time for sunset and sunrise on board
2.) Speed required / ETA calc
3.) ETA to Sunrise and Sunset Calc
4.) ETA to Sunrise and Sunset Calc
5.) Amplitude ? Sunrise

9.) Plane Sailing (Example from college course papers)
10.) Plane Sailing (Example from college course papers)
11.) Mercator Sailing (Example from college course papers)
12.) Mercator Sailing (Example from college course papers)
13.) Great Circle Sailing (Example from college course papers)
14.) Meridian Passage
15.) Amplitude ? Sunrise
16.) Amplitude ? Sunset
17.) Azimuth ? Sun
18.) Principle of the sextant (Notes copied from Course Papers)
19.) Marcq St Hilaire Intercept Method (Notes copied from Course Papers)
20.) ETA to Sunrise and Sunset Calc
21.) Amplitude ? Sunset
22.) Met Obs
23.) Amplitude ? Sunset
24.) Venus ? Azimuth
25.) Sun Sight ? Intercept Method
26.) Sunset ETA
