Have a look at my infinitely configurable system, for both pre-flight and in-flight planning. It always has the answers to any VFR navigation question.
Warning:-1/4-1/2 brain, pre-programmed in the mysterious and rapidly disappearing art of dead-reckoning is required for it's use.
You can teach monkeys to fly, but you can't teach them to navigate.
Website:- Navok.co.uk. If you want one contact [email protected]
The contacts on the web-site don't work as I have given up in disgust and bemusement at the appalling ignorance and abysmal ability in basic trigonometry and mental arithmetic in today's pilots. There's nothing there that a 12-13 yr old schoolboy(40yrs ago) couldn't get his head around.
If you only fly 12-20hrs a year then the benefits of the system will remain a mystery. If however you master it and fly sufficiently frequently that the aircraft becomes part of you, then you'll come to wonder why GPS is ever employed for VFR flight in the British Isles.
