I say again Gasax, Fuel consumption is based on the POH which I rechecked today as it happens. :rolleyes:

The idea of the sector recce/locals area famil (call it what you will - we do know exactly what we're talking about, sure other clubs have jargon?! ) Is not instead of navexes, it is so that when I am flying solo GH exercises, such as stalls and steep turns, I know exactly where I am and the "lookout" part of the cx has more meaning. You may consider it unnecessary, but I know i'll find it useful.

Keith - Thanks, it looks rather complicated. But I think I get the gist. But with my fuel calculations with the Grob, 22 mins should use up an extra roughly 9 litres of fuel; with a margin of "red" fuel at say 40 in the last fuel circle, this can be covered.

Hmmm, food for thought there. I suppose what we're really all saying (and I think what another poster said) is that we all have our own ways of working this out, and the instructors out there have their own ways of teaching. Doesn't mean that anyone is right or wrong, just different. :)

Hi GQ,

Check your PMs.

Which means you are planning fuel consumption using leaned figures whilst burning significantly more fuel because you are not leaning .........

So you planning all this based on guesswork.
