All these "replies", and I can see how you are still confused. It's been a while since my Prive checkride, but be expected to demonstrate pilotage, dead reckoning, and use of navaids. Notice on the PTS that both areas are listed. I looked in the FAA guide and it didn't unconfuse me much. Flying for any distance with just landmarks or by dead reckoning would be extremely awkward and potentially tiring (especially for dead reckoning). I use something similar to that in many VFR flights, but I still resort to VORs. With VORs you can mentally figure out things and plot your course without having to do much in the way of calculation. For example, in my last flight this afternoon I just looked at the sectional and saw that when I was about 23 miles west of the Imperial VOR on its 255 radial, I could turn to 295° towards the Julian VOR and go northwest on the latter's 115 radial. No calculator needed for that. Doing it by landmarks would be a lot more troublesome. The reality is that it will depend on your examiner. Most VFR cross country flight will involve some combination of navigation skills- you have to get on that airway somehow, right? On your checkride, note your time when you takeoff, and explain to the examiner how you are getting from the runway onto course. Make all your turns from point A to point B, and update your flight log times as you go.This might satisy him/her that you have the skills. You are the one planning your cross country, so make sure you know what you have planned- examiners have a sixth sense for knowing what you don't know,lol. Are examiners smarter than instructors? Are examiners experienced pilots, or just bureaucrats, or what? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Just to clarify: Mx has said repeatedly that he has no intention of ever flying a plane (even for a single intro flight, let alone a checkride). Hence, the terse replies to his question. How does that change the answer? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Not a problem. Keep contributing *smile* as there are pleny (like myself) that do appreciate the time spend. Now if I survive the cost of my current annual and get back in the air myself.... The ugly word of corrosion came up..... Allen |

Don't sweat it Jamie. If you're at all interested in the psychology of human
behavior, the whole thing...the postings and the answers to the postings are a hoot and a half :-) The best way to handle it is simply to lay back and watch in the background. It actually makes my day really. I know many of the people who post here from many years of exposure to their personalities and their knowledge of aviation, which in many cases is quite extensive. The fun part is to watch the thread start, then from simply viewing the names of those who respond, take a mental shot at what the responders will be saying BEFORE looking at the response. I'm getting quite good at it. My wife (the psychologist) is REALLY good at it. I have to admit however in my defense, that she so far is two "dinners at the Outback"and a bottle of Jack Daniels down :-)))) Dudley Henriques "Cirrus" wrote in message oups.com...

I love the replies that point out how MX is such a waste of time, while if
you did a count of the posts, a vast majority of them do nothing more than jump down MX's throat. Talk about a waste of time. But you're definitely right...it is entertaining. And I've even figured out how to make my filters work.;-) mike "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message ... Don't sweat it Jamie.

... "Cirrus" wrote in message oups.com... All these "replies", and I can see how you are still confused... Hope this helps. Good luck and have fun on the checkride! Just to clarify: Mx has said repeatedly that he has no intention of ever flying a plane (even for a single intro flight, let alone a checkride). Hence, the terse replies to his question. How does that change the answer? It changes the motivation to provide an answer. Your wording gave the impression that you have an impending checkride, thus tricking a helpful person into spending time assisting you with it. |
