Today my instructor and I took a more detailed tour of the practice area, completing a complete circumnavigation in just over an hour. The exercise was designed to build map reading skills and familiarize me with the various areas within the practice area. As I mentioned earlier in the blog, safety is maintained in the practice area, in part, by knowing where everyone is currently operating. If I called for the advisory and someone indicated that they were working the gravel pits area 4000 ft and below, I would know where that was and be able to select another area to avoid conflicts. I tried to find as many landmarks as possible, because tomorrow I’ll be coming out here on my own for the first time.
St. Andrews (airport is about located about mid-image)
