I've never seen anyone use this 'track up' method with a paper chart, you see - so its an alien concept to me that people actually fly around with their charts (potentially) upside down. It's obvious to me now that apparently they do. Is this a UK thing?
Military pilots are taught to orientate the chart track up; for low level ops you would find it difficult to find the correct valley, re-entrant contour or target without doing this.
Having flown using both methods, I can do either, but still prefer to have my moving map track up. Many civvy trained pilots I've flown with very often prefer it north up but seeing as I'm usually single pilot I please myself and even use the co-pilot's seat to lay out my charts
