Re: True or Magnetic?
That's a fantastic mnenomic, Dan! I'd appropriate it for my classes, except that I'm already fighting one copyright violation lawsuit, and don't need another.

Re: True or Magnetic?
But... does anyone remember the transponder code for transponder failure?

Hey, Paul - I picked that one up at Wittman Field from an EAA member some years ago!

I think you're wrong, Eddie. I seem to recall it's 9999.FastEddieB wrote: "8888"?

Paul,
Great webinar on the subject. I may have to watch it a few more times just to sort it all out.

Don't feel bad. I had to watch it a few times just to understand what that guy was saying.

Maybe a little "as used" help.WB714PR wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 12:26 pm I am going through my ground school books and such for my Sport Pilot, and I am confused as to when one uses True North or Magnetic North. Is there some easy way to keep track of what to use when without riding around with the FARAIM in your lap? It just seems rather odd.
Example (that everyone reading this already knows): METARs wind direction are True, yet the runway headings are Magnetic? But aren't you supposed to chose your runway direction based on the wind direction?
Who thought this up?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

FOR THE STUDYING, THE WRITTEN TEST ITSELF, AND PREFLIGHT PLANNING WHEN NOT USING COPUTER-BASED PLANNING SOFTWARE-
Get a vintage E-6B whiz-wheel. The wind side of it always has the formulae printed right on it. Use TH TC MH and MC as shown in the
printing. This keeps you from making those mistakes.
IN THE EARLY DAYS AFTER GETTING YOUR LICENSE -
You will most likely use Foreflight or SkyVector for flight planning. When you are in the air, your checkpoints will be close enough that it
won't make much difference. You talk to yourself and say things like..."darn, the wind is drifting me off course, I need to steer a little to
the left to keep the wind from doing that.
