Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

Boofhead I did't get to use Omega or Decca but did use GNS 1 in a Twin Otter in the High Arctic it was very accurate but took some time to set up.

In fact I wrote a story for Todays Pilot a couple of years ago about getting lost in the Arctic one night when I decided to save time setting up the GNS and took a star shot not knowing my watch was three hours out.

Aahh it is so nice to just sit at home and remember all those years.
