Try it You'll Like it - The SSSytem - a poor man's Air Navigation system:
Get your students involved in my very LOW TECH pilot navigation system. I call it the SIMPLE SIX ( 6 ) Minute NAV System a.k.a. The SSSYSTEM Six ( 6 ) minutes is ten percent of an hour therefore 10% ground speed ....is how much land will pass under your wing in 6 minutes. Example at 120 ground speed x 10% = 12 miles in 6 minutes or 2 miles every one minute... then ask the student to start judging distances on the ground ... to turn points, lakes, rivers, airports, towers... inflight visibility...using the clock and
the SSSystem which also applies to fuel flow, glide distances...
Note - I was amazed how fast and how good - accurate my student pilots were ...
I just watched the webinar "VFR unleashed 500 nm with Chris Eads." I am unable to locate the AOPA Passport badge for November as mentioned in the webinar. Help?
