Hi Everyone,
I am currently building up my solo nav hours for my PPL. I find VFR navigation fairly easy around my local area as there are big landmarks and other airfields. My question is; could I take a GPS unit up with me as back up in case I ever found myself lost or just to confirm position fixes when flying routes further afield? Would it be wise therefore to take it on a first cross country solo as a safety aid?
Just out of curiosity.
Thanks.
Andrew
