Canadian Xpress® October 2012 Challenge: Instrument Flight Rules

[CXA001]

This month’s challenge is to forget the FMC, forget looking out the window (other than to enjoy the scenery) and close the GPS and navigate via your aircraft’s instruments by dialing up a VOR and set course towards it & track NDBs. Your welcome to hand fly or use the autopilot to track the radios, but the challenge here is to manually set the radios. Don’t let the GPS or flight planning software run the show.

A tutorial on how to navigate VORs is available by clicking the Navigating VORs link via the Training menu on our web site.

Starting at Daytona Beach (KDAB), you will navigate down the east coast of Florida making your way to in to the Key’s and landing at Key West (KEYW). Along the way you’ll pass over Kennedy Space Centre and the famous, Hwy 1 Oversea Highway that links the Florida Keys to the mainland.
