I'm just getting ready for the RT exams, and I'm trying to figure out what I need to know. GID35 (requirements for a FRTOL) part 4 gives a good list, but includes 'VDF procedures and terminology' under the 'en route procedures' - this is confusing me....
In CAP413 there is a section on Direction Finding (Chapter 7 page 10), which includes QDR/QDM/True Bearing calls and the meaning of Class A/B/etc., but there is also a section called 'VDF procedure' (Chapter 7 pages 12-17) which is
a procedure whereby a pilot requests a series of QDMs to home to a VDF station .... to carry out a prescribed VDF Instrument Approach procedure ...
Is this required for the PPL exam? The procedure seems non-trivial and instrument-based (so non-PPL?), but it does appear to be specifically required in GID35
Anyone done the RT exams recently and know if you need it....?
