Ah, that magical instrument which we pretend does not exist in PPL training
and which becomes the only method of navigation the minute you got your
license. :-)
OTOH: if i was navigating with the I Follow Roads method in our school's
C172E and couldn't find an airfield, I'd probably just ask for a QDM instead
of trying to dial in the four letters in that ooooold Trimble 2000 GPS.
Nothing beats moving map GPS of course. |
