pilot

The name given to sailing directions published by the British Admiralty which are similar in format and content to DMA Sailing Directions and United States Coast Pilot.

British Admiralty pilots are very thorough and updated frequently, although they are much more expensive than their U.S. counterparts. Volume titles of BA Pilots are listed below.

Similar publications from the Canadian government use the name Sailing Directions. For more description of the books, see the Printed Publications section of the Source Book.

See also the World Atlas, which lists the contents of each of these reference books along with a graphic illustration of the regional sections covered.
