Many thanks for your detailed instructions.
I duplicated your Flight Plan EXACTLY!
The only thing I was doing differently was ‘Adding’ Dovovans as a separate and final leg back to YMTG, not as you instructed - adding Donovans to the highlighted Nelson to YMTG leg.
When I started flying I did the basic Flight Lessons which eventually got me off the ground and applause from my grandchildren. One of those lessons was VFR and the use of the NavLog to fly from one waypoint to the next. I rely on this as my ol’Cessna 152 and round dials suit me perfectly. (I am not quite ready to tackle the fancy technology just yet.)
Consequently, when I create a flight plan I refer to the Navlog for my first ‘Waypoint Heading’ versus opening the VFR Map and following the flight path.
This is where I feel I have been getting confused as the first Custom Waypoint Heading is 143 degrees to Donovans - the reverse direction of my intended Flight Plan.
Of course I may be reading the NavLog incorrectly . . .
Hopefully I have not confused you, I must admit I get myself a bit puzzled at times!
Your assistance and patience is sincerely appreciated.
