Diversion Failure in Skills Test
Hi,
I find planning a diversion the hardest part of the PPL course.
While taking my hands off the control column, looking down at my chart to plot the new course, calculate a heading and ETA I get disorientated or the aircraft veers off course. In training my instructor would take hold of the control column while I planned the diversion but in the skills test I had no such luxury. As a result I started from the wrong point, veered off course got lost and failed.
Does anyone have any tips on how to plan the diversion without getting disorientated in the process?
