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?
Yes you mark a map up with desired track over the ground...I hope that you were taught this during your nav phase?
There's no difference in planning perspective between north up and track up. It's whatever you prefer. I can't do track up, some people can't do north up. Depends how the old grey matter works I think.
I fully agree with Bingo, don't over egg it. As you get more hours under your belt the 'I need to alter course a degree' will go out of the window and 'There's that power station that's my next waypoint 30 miles in front, am I heading towards it with a rough guestimate for drift added in, yes, then all is well with the world' will start to seep in.
Edit: One of our milk runs is to take our aircraft up to Sherburn for servicing, about 45 miles as the crow flies. On a reasonable vis day you can see Sherburn when you climb out of the circuit at my home base. You don't actually see Sherburn, you see Eggborough power staion which is where Sherburn is as near as damn it. How do I know it's Eggborough? Because it's sits in the middle of Drax and Ferrybridge power stations. Job done, no map required, no GPS required, just a crossing of Donny zone to negotiate and sit back and relax.
