Navigation Review

at the moment, im almost reaching the last half quarter of the PPL flying. with about 8 to 10 hours left, i'll be finishing PPL, and if that happens i can do CAA6 ground school with peace of mind. now im doing navigation, and there's 4 navigation sorties and 2 general handling sorties left before i'll be going for the flying test. the examiner will be captain razak or popularly know as 04...yeah, his nickname is a number. doesn't get any cooler than that. anyhow, below are some pictures and all useless nonsense about navigation for you to check out. let's make this sound like a some sort of tutorial...or at least pretend like it's a tutorial.


we, first fill up the flight plan, noting down all the details about routes, types of aircraft,time of departure, time to estimated reporting points and all other stuff that i have no idea what any of it means. but apparently all of them is a good thing.


then we grab the navigation log, and again we wrote down all the same thing that we wrote before in the flight plan, plus with information about the amount of fuel carried and safety altitude.


continuing, the next thing that i usually do is to plot the map. or plot the map first and then fill the flight plan. or both at the same time.


now the next step. open your wardrobe (and this is the part in a movie where the voice of singing angels come in),take out your uniform and strike a pose like julius caesar, and yell "i'm the great one!". and instantly, be prepared to lose a lot of friends.

and that's how you prepare for PPL navigation. for the CPL navigation, i'll tell later. but it'll be more interesting and it'll involve things like rainbows and flowers and fairy dust. so stay tuned.



above is a picture of my room, and it has no moral values behind it. it's just a method of wasting space for this post. so again, continuing the occasional half minutes of boredom, authored by the skunk rascal of batch 10.
