Tim's Air Navigation

This past week, my instructor(s) introduced me to Tim’s Air Nav. You can go to Google & type “tim’s air nav” in the search bar. It’s the first one that comes up on my computer. There are two boxes on the right side where you can select navigation instruments to use. You can select from VOR, HSI, ADF, RMI, and DG. There’s also a plane you control the heading, airspeed, and turn rate. You can also move the transmitters, plane, and add wind. This helped me understand how to do an NDB approach, & helped with situational awareness for all instrument approaches. I also was having some difficulty with multi-tasking. I knew all the procedures, but had a hard time doing them while keeping the correct altitude, heading, & airspeed. Charlie & Travis suggested I try to balance a marble on a binder or something flat with my left hand while I chair fly & complete checklists. I flew much better after that exercise!
