Matlock, Blidworth
Another Nav excerise.
Sat down with the map, drew in the triangle from Trowell to Matlock to Blidworth back to Trowell. Calculated the distances, half way points, bearing and groundspeed (using wiz wheel and my Pocket PC app to check :) Then plogged it, and worked out times and fuel etec. Oh before all this we phoned and got the wind at 3000 feet, altough we were planning to fly at 2400 all the way.
It all worked out well again, hit the points spot on, although the timing was a little conservative.
All good fun though.
