Hi...
I remember during my nav briefing, which happened a while back, I was given an example of a nav leg cosisting of FOUR checkpoints each at quarter intervals (1/4, 1/2, 3/4)
During flight, The remaining ETA's can be updated by using the ATA over a checkpoint...
However I noticed this is not convenient when there is little land feature to identify your position or the leg is too short...so in that situation it would probaby be best to use just a half-way mark...
However since the briefing, my instructor always seems to prefer one checkpoint at the half way
no matter how long or short the leg is...
How do you navigate? Do you always use halfwaymark no matter how long the leg? or does it depend on the land features?
I dont know what Im trying to get at
I guess just your prefered method of navigation when it comes to a long leg, short leg, featureless leg etc.
Thanks
