I teach Standard Closing Angle (with Fan Lines).
And a word of warning about whizzwheels in the cockpit - if you meet me in the air then the AIRPROX report coming your way will remind you to get your head out of the window - again today i have had another incident where I have the right of way and yet again remain unseen by another aircraft - this time a PA28 Arrow IV about 5nm N of Westcott - and he didnt take action until long after I had - if you arent heads out the cockpit you aint flying the plane....so how to do diversions without whizzwheels...
1. Know Max drift....
2. Know how to adjust Max drift using the clock method to get a WCA (wind correction angle)
3. Buy a small combined AFE plotter which gives heading & distance in one shot.....
4. fly standard closing andle as a technique on the diversion (less work - less marks)
5. know how to adjust windspeed using the clock method to obtain groundspeed
whirlybird um why cant you fly accurately? Doesnt the aircraft travel in between the lines on the DI!?
