Mental Dead Reckoning For Navigation
I did my CPL training at a RAAF Flying club whwre the military QFI's encouraged us to use mental dead reckoning using some simple maths and formulas (ie time, groundpseed, drift correction). Took me awhile to get used to it, but boy I loved not having to pull out that whizz wheel to do nav calculations.
My questions:
1. Is it worth it to teach the average GA stud this kind of stuff?
2. What are the some mental dead reckoning "rules" That I can start my studs on?
I would welcome any input from any ex-RAAF/RAN/RN/RAF/USN/USAF/GA QFIs out here?
