Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: May 9 0200z Multiplayer Plan" 05-10-04, 22:38z  Hi Robert: Thanks again for your efforts with the flight planning. There seems to be some issues that need to be addressed. The first one I ran into. You don't seem to include initial headings or frequencies for the first leg. During the flight you indicated that you left it out because the GPS would take you to SMO before continuing to the first way point. Might I suggest that perhaps all waypoints that are for GPS (sans VOR as in this example) feature a star (*) or the letter "G" or some other indication for those using GPS to know that you'd use this waypoint? My thoughts are those learning navigation will start with radio navigation rather than GPS. The second issue has to do with intersections. David mentioned that he had no idea where to find these. Perhaps we should take up this subject in the Flight Training forum, but the quick solution is fly intersections based on VOR radials than as RNAV/GPS waypoints. This way the name becomes less important. Just some thoughts... Ben -= VPC OffLine Reader 2.1 =- Registered to: Ben Chiu -OLR.PL v1.83- Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
