I still have my copy of the memo he gave us in September '82 on how to prepare for, and fly a Baron, and execute NDB Approaches, and DME Homeing, in preparation for the November '82 visit of John Wood, Australian Central Region Examiner, who came up under an Aid Program for a week to renew all our Australian Licence Holders Instrument Ratings. I didn't need it that time as I did a SCPL Test in the Metro with him instead.
Solomons only validated other countries licences and ratings in those days.

Jasper's notes on DC-3 flying were interesting to browse by this sprogg then too.

The only time I got to use a VOR was when going to Pt. Vila.
We had OMEGA in the Metro for en-​​​​route navigation, and operated it single pilot.

Fun times trying to make a living and build hours.
