Not done x-country yet, nor any nav solo - My instructor wants me to pass the nav exam first before I get into that, although he did make mention of allowing me to fly in and out of the zone solo as I am very familiar with the area.
I have the trevor thom books; but being honest. The Nav book is one that I can only read for a minute or two before throwing it down in blind rage because i simply cannot grasp nor understand what it is talking about.
The real confusing issue is, give me a chart, the winds, and a whiz wheel and I can work out my route, fairly accuratley and fly it as planned.
What gets me with the confuser is that it is asking me to work out elements that I would normally have provided, such as the Wind, and for some reason this throws my mind off.
I know that once this knowledge "clicks" I will have no problem, but my mind is like an old engine, it takes a while to fire.
Can anyone actually recommend any DVD/CD/Video based productions that might help me through this more.
Thanks in advance.
