Navigation
The most used function is “Direct to”, by using that you can choose in
the database which point you want to go to.
It is also possible to create a route with several points, but 90% of our
flights we normally carry out with the “Direct To” function.
GPS systems are:
- guaranteed to be accurate to within 99.4% for instrument approaches 95%
of the time
- susceptible to jamming and interference
- guaranteed to be accurate to within 10 meters constantly
- signals can be blocked during abnormal flight attitudes
9.10.3.4 The future
We must acknowledge that GNSS systems have partly made VDF, ADF and VOR
navigation redundant for VFR flight.
Navigation systems such as SKYDEMON are the solution for pilots who want to
perform safe navigation.
The school recommends that you as a
student try SKYDEMON and learn to
use it during flight and for flight
planning. It is a relatively inexpensive
system.

Make an emergency plan if the IPAD goes black in the summer heat. The line on
the map is worth its weight in gold in such a situation.
