PPL Nav Course
Guys/Gals,
Yet again I post a new topic require where I need help!
A buddy of mine (lapsed FAA Private cert and current RAFVR Gliding Instructor) has started studying for a JAR PPL. To date he has sat 3 ground exams and has passed with all marks above 90%! This is all self study using Thom and current RAFVR material.
However, today he requested my help with the nav exam.
No problems there, I am a competent navigator who was trained by Aunt Betty at Finningley twenty odd years ago and even these days use a Dalton's computer!
My problem really is what should I help him with? I can not recall any astro-nav questions on my PPL but am also unsure as to how much Dalton computer expertise he will need. Conversions to mach numbers, for example. Speed/time/distance in secs is another technique I don't know if he needs, 1:60 rule, snapping for a turn, etc, etc!
I understand that he sits Nav in 12 days time!
Is there somewhere on-line that I can download a syllabus? Or is there a check-list available of what he needs to know to prepare himself for the exam.
All assistance greatly received.
