    Nav is much simpler here. Take off and fly to the corner pub. The Ham Tree. Fly West to The Bunch of Grapes. Follow the canal to The Canal Tavern. Eas t to the Rose and Crown.....and like that.

    Pilotage and Dead Reckoning is the way I flew in VN the majority of the time. We sure could have used GPS back then. Could have saved a lot of lives and done a much better job, both on the ground and in the air. The first 10 years of my Kolb flying was Pilotage and Dead Reckoning, in the Ultrastar, Firestar, and MKIII. Flew in all the states east of the Mississippi River and four on the west side without GPS or Loran. Just before I departed on my 17,500 mile flight in 1994, I was able to buy a Garmin GPS 55AVD. Only numbers in the display. No moving maps and no airport information. I had to use sectionals, Canadian, and Alaskan Flight Supplements for airport info. Kept me busy. Even this little GPS sure saved a lot of time and saved my buns flying in Canada, especially Alaska where the deviation/variation is as much as 19 degrees. I have lost GPS coverage a few times over the last 23 years and resorted to Pilotage and Dead Reckoning. It was actually fun navigating again. Not looking at ground speed and trying to squeeze more speed out of the airplane was more relaxed flying. However, the GPS saves a lot of fuel and is an excellent safety device when it comes time to head to the nearest airport. Everyone that flies with GPS should also stay current flying Pilotage and Dead Reckoning to fall back on when the GPS fails. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Rick Neilsen Sent: Monday, June 13, 2016 12:06 AM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: A little Wisconsin green Wow you guys need some flat land navigation training.

    flat land training is something I've never done... when at altitude when you can see your home mountains from 200 miles away, the only decision is which mountains are you going to fly over, and which are you going to fly around. and a lot of that decision is not to hard,,, just by looking at the set of mountains between the ones your deciding over, and the ones near your destination. course I say that is easy,,, you have to factor in the wind, landing spots, and how far you want to walk to get to a road. argh,,, mountain flying got to love it. or move to flat land.

    Mountain flying is extremely exciting and entertaining. Flat land flying is extremely boring. I enjoy flying out West because of the mountains and desert, canyons and critters. However, one must contend with weather that can become deadly and keep one grounded for days at a time. 2011 took me 11 days to fly from Alabama to Oregon, and 7 days for the return flight. I encountered bad weather in flat and lumpy areas. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of B Young Sent: Monday, June 13, 2016 8:55 AM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: A little Wisconsin green flat land training is something I've never done... when at altitude when you can see your home mountains from 200 miles away, the only decision is which mountains are you going to fly over, and which are you going to fly around. and a lot of that decision is not to hard,,, just by looking at the set of mountains between the ones your deciding over, and the ones near your destination. course I say that is easy,,, you have to factor in the wind, landing spots, and how far you want to walk to get to a road. argh,,, mountain flying got to love it. or move to flat land.
