Hey all,
Just asking for some help as I am struggling with reading co-ordinates on the 1:500,000 UK charts.
I'm wishing to take my nav exam in a few weeks after putting it off for a long, long time. I've gone through the confuser and series 3 nav manual but neither have provided me with help on reading the chart.
E.g, in the confuser the co-ordinates, for say, Wattisham are N5207.62 E00057.47. The ONLY part I can seem to interpret is the N52* part
Anyone got some tips or some online links which can help me?
Just another point, the confuser states as saying it represents 'All current questions and answers". I know the nav exam comprises of a route and a Plog which you have to fill in. The routes in the Confuser are:
St Mary's (Scilles Isles)- Wolf Rock lighthouse- Camelford Quarry- Plymouth (Alternate- Bodmin)
Yeovil- Top of Climb- Ystradgynlais- Aberporth (Alternate- Swansea)
Shoreham- Farthing Corner- Wattisham (Alternate- Clacton)
Shipdam- Tatenhill- Bourne (Alternate- Cosford)
Would one of these routes be present in the real exam I will undertake? Does anyone recognise any of these places when they sat their nav exam?
Hope you can help, as I've found Nav to be the hardest exam to date. God only knows how hard it must be for me at ATPL Level
