Map reading techniques.. what do you use and does it work?
Hi ppruners..
Currently training for my PPL, I am reading into my navigation theory (Dyson-Holland) and about different techniques used for when plotting on the WAC/VNC for easier inflight navigation. Things such as the track error guides, distance/feature/proportion or time markers, time boxes etc.
Of course, all of these are used depending on the pilot's personal tastes and I wanted to put it to you guys with experience, what would you normally plot on your route to assist navigation and which do you find helps most..
Currently, we are taught to simply plot our track with time markers of 6 minute length, (yet Dyson-Holland discredits the use of time markers), and also plotting feature/distance markers as necessary.
Apprieciating any input..
