LEARNING GOAL FOR TODAY:

WORDS O' THE DAY:

• Navigation: ("controlling the movement of a plane from one place to another")
• Dead Reckoning ("Navigation where you head in one direction at a particular speed for a certain length of time and hope you end up where you want to")
• VFR - Visual Flight Rules - The first certification a pilot earns. VFR pilots can only fly in fair weather and ONLY during the day
• IFR - Instrument Flight Rules - The second certification a pilot earns. IFR pilots can fly at night and in poor weather (using instruments!!!)

CALENDAR: Navigation Basic (from LAST week) quiz on Wednesday

WORK O' THE DAY:

Now let's have some actual fun with that.

Let's say we're going to fly from the Tacoma Narrows Airport all the way down to Newport, Oregon (one of my favorite spots on the Oregon Coast.)

We're going to make a bunch of stops along the way:

1. Tacoma Narrows Airport
2. Olympia
3. Astoria (Oregon)
4. Salem (Oregon)
5. Newport (Oregon)
