navigation in-flight help
I m having some trouble navigating while in the air
I went on a solo Nav today and ended up getting lost real bad and had to ask ATS for assistance.
well the first problem started when i had to go through Military Airspace, I asked for clearance no one replied so i just ducked under the ctr steps to remain octa
however coming back in i couldn't duck under the ctr steps to remain octa.
so i planned to divert away from it
and that is when i got lost, Dead Reckoning was all off (i didn't think i was where i thought i was) and
couldn't differentiate the roads and towns from other roads and towns etc
i was actually heading the opposite direction that is when i needed ats guidance.
whenever i am navigating all i depend on is Dead Reckoning atm as i have no clue where is what and what is where as in Australia there are so many featureless terrain legs. (i did not keep a constant speed so my DR was all screwed up)
any tips on visual navigation??
