It is a complex process of orientation that allows travel across long distances in order to achieve a specific place in safety. Air navigation is the way to drive a flying vehicle - balloon, airplane, blimp or other device suitable for flying - with skill and safety through space with the observation of significant points that serve as a reference.

In Brazil, the performance of the navigation area covers a large area cut by approximately, 77000 nautical miles (142,604 kilometers) from the lower airways are true "invisible avenues" located to a height of 24,500 feet or less (7,468 meters) and 30,000 nautical miles (55,560 km) of upper airways (located from the altitude of 24,500 feet), supported by a network of facilities and aid for en route flight operations, takeoffs and landings which Infraero part by the Superintendency of Air Navigation.

Procedures for Air Navigation Infraero have the function of providing greater security for flights, through the services of air traffic management, telecommunications and meteorology.

Safety in flight begins with the observation and analysis of weather conditions. The weather service Infraero provides information for the aircraft, as well as market and weather data for weather reports.
