Excel and I could consistantly get within 1 degree and never
more than 2 degrees. of the whizwheel calcs. In flight if I
have to do a diversion I usually just guess and then use ded
reckoning. but I also have a simple graph which gives me the
drift angle for any wind - track combination ( of course such a
graph will only work at one TAS so I have one for 90 for the
C152 and one for 105kts for the C172 I fly. Its much easier
than rooting around with a whizwheel in flight. (and it is
easier to read with my aging eyes). Terry.
Sounds good, it's get's instinctive, if Instructor Pilots
had to pass a trigonometry course there wouldn't be
any :-).
I passed a navigator's course.
You?

I think ground school should cover elementary
Vector additions and subtractions, it jives well
with instinct in most aspects of flying.

Hey, thanks a bunch Ken! I'll call in this suggestion in to the FAA
right away. I'm sure they'll want to get busy changing the books.
:-))

Well make sure they can afford my consulting fee.

What, two houn' dogs and a vial of 'sang?

In my PPL ground school, vector additions we're
required for navigational crab offset using VFR.

Nasa does PPLs?
