Skills test advice
Good morning all
I have my skills test booked for this Sunday and need some advice
Like most other students about to take the test I too am a little bit nervous not so much on the general handling side but the nav
I've been told to plan from uttoxeter to wrexham and then down to Hereford a fair old run!! A diversion on the second leg I believe
I've never flown this route before so im going to have to use all my nav skills!
After all this is what the examiner wants right ?
I'm thinking about using m6 Hilton park services as a way point but before I get there I'll be going into shawbury AIAA
So are they likely to give me a zone transit? I've never flown into this airspace before i think my examiner wants me to call them and get appropriate clearance as I can't see him asking me to go around and dog leg it!!
The next bit down to Hereford takes me over high ground with various rivers small villages and so on
I'm planning to fly it at 3,000ft both legs
To me the route looks difficult so I don't want to mess it up ie get lost off track!!
Any advice please thanks
