Navigation Skills for PPL
I am getting towards the end of my training in an R44 for my PPL and am struggling with the Nav exercises. I plan the route well on the map and have an good idea of what to expect in the air and think its going to be happy days. I did my second nav exercise the other day, i must have miscalculated w/v as after quite a short while i was quite far off track, then when i started trying to identify roads/railways on the ground it all seemed to merge into one and then i just had a bit of a brain melt!!
Does anyone have any handy hints they use/used to make the Nav exercise easier (not using GPS)
I have been using my VFR log clipped to the chart, which was getting in the way, i have bought a kneeboard which is going to help i hope? Any suggestions would be great thanks.
