Redundant Navigators

[Fareastdriver]

Ask a met man.

He will say,

If you stand with your back to the wind and Low Pressure is on your left, you are in the Northern Hemisphere. [not much use near the equator of course].

I was taught it as "if you stand with your back to the wind in the Northern Hemisphere, you bum gets cold"

Having worked with aircrew with different styles of wings and brevets, from all 3 services and across numerous nations, I often found the ones that were most verbal, and least humourous, on the non-pilot banter were the ones that needed them most.

Back to Basics

As an Air Cadet at Kenley I was always told that if you stood with your back to the Officers Mess the NAFFI was on the right . And it was, every time.

I am still smiling at the Dead Dog bit.

No one has confirmed 'or otherwise' the Nav Rule in the F4 socket !!!!

"If you stand with your back to the wind and Low Pressure is on your left, you are in the Northern Hemisphere. [not much use near the equator of course]"

I understood from my Yachtmaster instructor that the Merchant Navy learn it the other way round, i.e. facing the wind. He didn't appreciate it when I said that sailors learn not to turn their back on anything.

I knew a chap in the scouts who thought that whichever way he was facing, was North. He failed map reading!
