Maurice_King Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 OK where from YSBK or YSYD ? track to Prestons then Bindook on to Yass then track direct to Albury then Wangaratta NDB direct Mangalore VOR and onto Fentons Hill VOR , from there you can track straight in to Tullamarine or vear east to Epping Localiser and into Essenden .

Todd Harrell Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Low altitude airways using VOR and the occasional NDB are so much more enjoyable than direct. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
European Mountain Man Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I use a program called ideal flight it free to try . It plans your route and puts all the waypoints in for you and calculates the fuel you need for the flight ect stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Depends which navigational skills you're working on. As 'TWHarrel' said, low altitude will keep you busier. VOR radials, NDB bearings, altitude restrictions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpreou Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I always fly direct or VOR. I haven't worked out NDBs yet! Its something I do need to look at though. Going from VOR to VOR on instruments (as opposed to GPS) is more rewarding. Sometimes I switch off the GPS and it only gets switched on if I am ... um ... temporarily unsure of my position!
