Introduction
• Military Geography and Hydrometeorology Office• Users of maps• Spatial abilities• Differences between individuals

Challenges for geographers
• Reginald George Golledge at all• Spatial Behaviour: A Geographic Perspective• Decision-making process VS geographers• Description of the external world

Military pilots
• Helicopter pilots• Slower speed of a flight• More time for decision – making process• Fighter pilots• Very little time for decision – making process• Skilled in a spatial cognition• Transport pilots• Important part is landing and take-off

Military pilots
• Geographic disorientation • Crowden’s (2012) research involving military pilots
revealed that pilots subconsciously overestimate their dexterity in navigation

Quantitative research
• September 2013• Different requirements for maps • 64 military pilots • Inconsistent ideas

Conclusion
• Good navigators?• Training about aeronautical charts• Navigation is often neglected• What they want?• What they should ask for?
