MyData - welcome aboard mate and thanks for your input
I suppose you aint too far away from Liverpool, or the North West (and me likewise, am not too far from Leeds) so when we have our tickets, we can look forward to some shared nav flights eh, and who knows maybe you or I may invest in an aerobatic rating
If you have never flown in the North West before it can be quite interesting. Our main feature is probably the River Mersey, which can be seen from all aorund - you can even see the City Centre from further north, in the Blackpool region perhaps, on a clear day. A trip down the Welsh coats is always a good one too - it's pretty difficult to get lost to be honest when you have the coast (purely on a VFR flight, not on a nav-ex, as you are aware I have a habbit of getting lost on)
So yes, look forward to a flight with you in the future, and anyone else for that matter!!
Andy:
this has often caught me out (small brain!)
I know this feeling oh so well and can only dream of a slave DI ! Just be careful Data, like Andy advises, that when you swap aircraft, to keep it in synch, or you can get horribly lost (again, I know the feeling)
Cheers,
Lee
Sensible, you posted the same time as me - sounds like a situation where all good nightmares are made. What was the story here then? Did you explain you had a faulty DI or just give them the best headings you could?
