Episode description
In this episode, we demystify the PPL flight computer — the circular “whizz-wheel” every student pilot learns to use. You’ll discover how it helps you calculate wind correction angles, headings, groundspeeds, and fuel burn. Ideal for anyone preparing for the navigation flight exam or their first solo cross-country.
