Managed to get out for my second nav flight today....in a rash moment of extravagance I decided to combine the CSU endorsement with the nav training.

So today's aircraft was a shiny new C182T complete with a G1000 and all the associated toys. I spent the first half of the flight trying to get my head around the differences, but it started to make sense for the return flight.

I learnt that autopilots and all the other gubbins makes life much easier, but ultimately felt that I was cheating and that I would have learnt more by flying something a little less automated.

The nav work itself has been simpler than I anticipated thus far - not sure how long this will last though...
