dave,

read this below, then get your nose out of the screen, and have fun for
awhile. once you get the hang of this, i think the rest will fall in to
place. i use gps for a back up. not my main source of navigation. but you
can use it for navigation.


disclaimer: i am not a pilot do not try this with real aircraft !

Really good Dave. I saved it also. I'm sure a RL pilot would explain it
better. Take me for example. Flew since 1970 (I know, I'm a yung'un) so
I have lots of knowledge. Take GPS for example. I can .. well I flew..
to tell the truth, I NEVER flew with a GPS. I ordered a LORAN to help
me navigate in the Saudi/Iraqui desert. Still have it, Voyager it was.
Should've bought a GPS. BUT, I can sure explain that auto-pilot. Got
to use it once in an Aztec for ONE 180 degree turn. Then had to turn it
off for the 13th single engine ILS for that day. My instructor probably
was too nervous with all two engines running at the same time I guess.
But I can explain ADF approaches pretty well. That's all most of the
aircraft I flew had installed, if they even had that. But even that was
only used to listen to AM radio. Now we're down to a 1:250,000 map. the
old standby.

I'm telling a joke Dave. Your explanation was really good. I did save it.
