Motivation to Learn
While we know that iPads and phone apps are used by licensed pilots to plan and navigate the majority of their flights, we need to learn how this plan all comes together in case these digital aids ever fail us. Navigation planning is part of your flight tests and written exams. The planning sheet can be a daunting task, but with the right explanation, you’ll have no problem filling them in when the time comes to plan your first cross country flight.
