I'm up to about 200 hours, low time so always concentrating hard. However, I still get time for the occasional glance down and right and see our shadow racing across the ground - utterly thrilling! Really like the velocity vector display, which I presume is GPS rather than from the ASI. At about 10:49, that was a serious change of altimeter setting, is Blackbushe that much higher AMSL than Denham?
Thanks for the comment as always! The vector display is good in some respects - you can also show altitude and the track, but it often gets very cluttered , so I tend to go with a ‘less is more ‘ approach , unless trying to specifically show something. Yes it’s GPS derived. Re the altimeter settings - Denham is at 249 ft, Blackbushe at 325ft so should only be around 2 and half mb difference, however the circuit / arrival procedure at Blackbushe is done at 800ft based on the QFE, or, height above the airfield - hence the change
Thanks for sharing - what a beautiful weather day for flying
