Navigation

On the runway, you check that the gyro compass is showing the correct

direction.

Then release the brake and take off at full throttle. Just before reaching your

cruising altitude, level out and slowly release the throttle until the desired RPM

is reached.

9.11.3 In the air

When you are in the air, it is about maintaining altitude and heading.

9.11.3.1 Altitude

It usually does not matter much whether you are flying 50-100 ft above or below

the altitude you have decided, but if you are not constantly aware of what

altitude you are at, you will suddenly be much higher or lower, and this can be

very unfortunate in some cases.

For example, you can enter a TMA without permission.

But you should also check the aircraft's other instruments regularly, and you

should always keep a visual eye out for, for example, tall masts or other aircraft.

9.11.3.2 Heading

Heading is maintained by maintaining the magnetic heading (MH) that you have

previously calculated.

This course is found as a course (TT) corrected for wind. However, if the wind we

have used in the calculation does not correspond to the current wind – which is

often the case – the aircraft will be pushed off course if this is not corrected.
