Holdposition,
See my bit below about RANT. Like lots in flying I start with "Arrgghh, I'll never get the hang of this" and end with being unable to understand what the problem was
IO540,
I don't think Trevor Thom Book 5 is very good, although it is clearly intended for the IMCR. It is very confusing in places and unnecessarily complicates what are IMHO relatively simple subjects.
I agree! FWIW, after a frustrating hour practicing an NDB hold I bought a copy of RANT and worked through the techniques in the Thom book (although not that methodically). Worked wonders! Something to do with the I read I learn I do I understand thing. All the better when it isnt £120/hr
