I’ve not been flying long so I haven’t got around to learning IFR etc.,
I decided to begin learning my navigation from the earliest days of navigation and work forwards. I wanted to navigate how the earliest aviators did it.
So, I opened my map (Google maps I’m afraid) and began:
I needed to fly due South from the airfield until I hit the river, then turn right and follow the river until I reached the Motorway bridge, turn right and follow the Motorway……etc.,
To add to the complexity, when ready, fly a bearing against the stopwatch.
Quite happy with this currently, it’s very basic and quite a challenge sometimes, I’ll move up to ADF/NDB at some stage.
Little NavMap is great when you progress and want more of a challenge as it links directly in to the flight Sim (free) as is Sky Vector for a little more detail perhaps.
