QXC

Nervousness isn't a problem Memphis, it's natural! Remember the performance curve in Human Performance and Limitations, but if you become too stressed it may become detrimental to your performance. Try and pick out some decent features on your track etc. I thought I was off track on my QXC but then trusted my judgement as I knew where I was and was just extremely nervous! If you are familiar with VOR cross cuts why not plan one half way on each leg? But that will raise your workload, but mainly remember your instructor wouldn't send you if you aren't ready, imagine being in their position? I'd never ever let a student go if I wasn't 100% happy with their capability!!!! If in doubt get on the radio as I'm sure you know that anyway! I had 121.5 in COM2 incase I did anything daft, please give us all a report of your successful QXC once you have done it and got those signatures

Cheers, Jim
