Sector recce? All this pseudo 'top gun' stuff is all great fun I'm sure -
Thought that would get you all going
....I haven't quite progressed to Carrier landings yet
Seriously though, the terminology may sound bravado, and no, agreed, its not in the PPL syllabus. However.... I am particularly bad at knowing where I am in the local area, even after all this time. My usual response to the "Lookout" part of any cx is "err...thats the A1...Err..." But towns, orientation of our airfield etc etc, I am hopeless. Hence the reason for a need to fly an, ok, in more "normal" terms, a local area familiarisation trip...personally I prefer the more snappy "Sector Recce"!
I tried to insert a pic of my current navex to prove that the chart is still quite clear and understandable, but couldn't work out how!
...its not an "inaccurate guess", its worked out on fuel consumption and timing.
