As a corollary to this question: Which direction do you hold your charts? I never had ground school, but learned from books instead, and I had so many flight instructors that they never got around to showing me.
I "naturally" held charts north-up so I could read all the captions. An ex-AF navigator who flew with me often after I got my license was very upset at this behavior. He only flew with flight track up so "waypoints would appear as they do on the chart." Now that I have a moving map GPS, I set it for "track-up," but I vary my paper charts, depending upon my mood. How do you hold your charts? David N6359V Georgia Trehey wrote: > > Howdy, > > I hadn't given this much thought until I got involved with cartographic > conventions and making maps.
