Also, we did an experiment on Monday that very clearly demonstrated something goofy going on with my VOR reception that I want to investigate further because it's definitely impacting my ability to track radials and, more importantly, actually trust what the VOR is indicating. I'll write more about this later...it happened the same day as the fire (yes, I said fire - it was not a good day).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-30253665312107816322012-10-22T22:30:30.510-04:002012-10-22T22:30:30.510-04:00Chris - sounds like your IR training has come alon...Chris - sounds like your IR training has come along well.

To be clear - I didn't use a moving map GPS until I had my PPL. I just used (and still use) a simple GPS logger that saves my tracks to text files that I upload at home to convert to Google Earth format.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-64179322481633036362012-10-10T14:58:47.245-04:002012-10-10T14:58:47.245-04:00I agree - particularly where instrument training i...I agree - particularly where instrument training is concerned. When reviewing one flight, I discovered that I had flown a holding pattern wrong, even though I and my instructor both thought I had nailed it. The funny thing is that it's my cheap $400 GPS that provides this opportunity, whereas my $$$$ Garmin does not.<br /><br />With that said, I'm still glad that I did my private training without GPS as a crutch. I do not think that I would have developed any proficiency at pilotage had the little box been there all along to tell me where I was.<br /><br />As for the angelic sounds, I'm pretty sure those were real. :-) Maybe they were coming out of Darrell.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-81672992223749131982012-10-10T13:18:00.883-04:002012-10-10T13:18:00.883-04:00You're doing great.

I can only imagine the angelic choir sounds in your head when you hit the timer button every time.<br /><br />I'm still firmly of the opinion that GPS loggers are great tools for any student pilot - whether in primary or instrument training. It's a great way to debrief in the comfort of your computer chair!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.com
