I love VOR navigation. "Tune (the radio), Twist (the OBS knob), Turn (the plane)." The 172 in which I learned did not have GPS so that $150 button wasn't a problem for me.
Excellent! Thanks for the comment!
I learnt to fly VFR with analog instruments, DR, 1 in 60 rule, paper charts, protractor, pencil, watch, and a Jeppesen CR. When the lights go out, you need the basics. It's fun too to be able to navigate the old school way. VOR & NDB as well. Great info and tutorial.
Excellent! I learned with analog instruments, too. Among other things, I remember using VOR triangulation to try and pinpoint where I was on a section (or Low Altitude Enroute). I’m glad it is easier now, but learning how to do those things gave me a pretty intimate knowledge of planning and navigation. It also provides a heads-up and options when/if the GPS isn’t doing what I think it should. Thank you so much for the comment! Have a great day!
Haha.. That $150 dollar button is a real thing. I failed one my stage checks because of it. Not doing that again lol.
Dang. Sorry to hear that. It has happened to many of us. Thanks for sharing!!
Great stuff, already required homework for my students! Well, except for the mnemonic... Have to work on that... Also, mistakes have seen a slight rise to over $600-$800 around these parts. DON"T MESS THAT UP APPLICANTS!!
Thank you! Yes, my mnemonic needs work, too. Hopefully it encourages folks to think about it a little more and become familiar with the steps. And, I am seeing the same sort of price increases. I guess next video will need to call it the $800 button. Thanks for the comment! Have a wonderful day!
Nicely done!
Thank you!!
thank you :D
You are very welcome! Thanks for the comment!
Do you fly out of KBRL or somewhere close? My home base is KGBG. I'd love to get a couple hours of instruction from you.
I fly out of KRST. But I’m occasionally down at KCID. Shoot me an email at scott dot koon at online-CFI dot com and I’ll give you a shout when I’m headed that way. Or, let me know if you are up near me and I’ll see what we can work out! Thanks for the comment!
If only it was a “$150 button”
Yes. I expect it is much more expensive, now.
