Even Spock had to use an E6B Flight Computer once in a while
Today I had my first "lesson" in navigation and flight planning. My darling husband, who scored excellently on his PPL Navigation exam, and who is a microlight instructor went through a basic flight plan with me today.
There is some pleasure in this business. Yes, I have to learn how to do flight planning, and use an E6B Flight Computer, but in this case the flight plan is for a trip to Raglan that we will be doing tomorrow afternoon. It has been some time since I flew anywhere besides in the circuit so this should be fun.
The flight computer is a simple, yet complex little tool that I need a lot more practice on. Today I worked on the basics and I will go again tomorrow with the new weather data for the day. Hopefully, one day I'll be as much of a master on the E6B as Spock...
go for it and have a safe fly
