Take a ride with another pilot – and bring your map
This will be a mystery destination flight for you.
P1 gets to pick field with good restaurant and 2-3 turnpoints. You follow on map, maintain flight log, calculate winds, track and groundspeed. After lunch try one or more turnpoints. At last one, you get to supply heading and ETA to home. Actually you could do that at each turnpoint.
This will give you time to familiarise yourself with how the landscape is represented on the map.
Flying an hour every other week is an inefficient way to learn and many sporadic students take as much time. A 90 minute or 2 Hour slot can get you farther away where you have to find where you are to work out a course and ETA back.
Crease the map, move a pencil parallel to the track until over a VOR compass rose to get heading, hold pencil over longitude meridian to read off distance. 90 kt is 1.5 nm/minute; so 24 nm takes 2x24 = 48 / 3 = 16 minutes
or first divide by 3; then double
whichever is easier for you.
