Techniques such as aiming off are extremely applicable to aeronautical aviation and are well described by David Lewis. I found aviation navigation extremely simple after a lifetime of nautical navigation. Many of the techniques are interchangeable, many sailors have a very good understanding of compasses and their errors, chart work, drift, cross track errors etc, Cheers Peter

Swell patterns, phosphorescence colour changes, specific bird sightings, cloud formations, star patterns and movements, aiming off techniques but these were not general stories but rather as Bex suggests highly specific "trade" knowledge taught to a select few. We The Navigators is a great read as are all of David Lewis's books. He studied navigation techniques across many indigenous cultures around the world and there are quite a few lessons in there for all of us.
