I'm am trying to do as I was taught and that wasn't with GPS - whilst I am learning anyway or for hours building etc. It will be back up tool.
What I am trying to establish is how accurate the PLOG is etc and if it is OK to print it off and use that from a planning perspective?
I suspect it may be slightly more accurate unless you interpolate the forecast winds, at each waypoint in your manual planning.
Sort of like take the good parts of SD (which seems to be interpolation of winds, tracks etc) and incorporate it into Manual Flying and Manual VFR PLOGS with Pen - PLOG.
I always mark a map up
Do you mean with track over the ground? I have heard of 2 different terms on here.. "Track Up" and "North Up" - What is the difference from a planning perspective?
I mean I was taught the half mil chart is "North Up" and we just mark the "track over the ground" and use that as a basis to see if we veer off course and for drift calculations etc.
