I’d set X-Plane’s weather to mimic actual conditions, which meant I had to add a 10˚ correction angle to keep on track. I intercepted the Brookmans Park VOR 055 TO radial, then followed the 010 FROM radial to overhead Royston, turned to 065˚ and flew the 3.5nm to land at Fowlmere. ![]() My route was from Elstree to the BPK VOR, then onto the other airfield I fly from, Fowlmere. X-Plane also allowed me to use it in conjunction with SkyDemon, as long as my PC and iPad were on the same Wi-Fi network. They open into pop-up panels, making changing frequencies much easier. The Tomahawk has the advantage of clickable areas on the Nav and GPS. My first challenge was a spot of VOR navigation. ![]() I also bought scenery of my home airfield, Elstree. I bought some UK scenery for X-Plane – Taburet Mesh XP which, although not ‘photographic’ scenery, had enough recognisable landmarks to help VFR navigation. I’ve recently installed X-Plane 11 on my PC and also bought Just Flight’s PA38 Tomahawk, but have had little time to play around with it. So, I wondered, could I take advantage of all this unexpected free time to brush up on part-remembered knowledge or even learn something new? Pilots are always learning and honing their skills. H ow does a grounded PPL pilot fill the days during lockdown? Certainly not with the dreaded DIY or daytime TV. ![]()
