Pretty slick!
Looks like it was tracking altitude as well.
It does track altitude, and I'm told it will color code either speed or altitude, although I've not figured out how to do that. The GPS is a Bendix KingAV8OR which keeps a track of your travels by marking a fix every minuted or so and saving it on the flash memory. You just hook it up to the PC and copy the file, associate it with Google Earth and up it comes. You will note that I have also thoughtfully provide you with all the local lodging:wave:.
Wulf, I started with ILS 05 into Lakeland (KLAL), then requested two full VOR approaches into 27 at KLAL, followed by a turn to the North and back to the VOR for a hold on the 60 Radial, finally ending up with an NDB approach back into my home airport of Plant City (KPCM). If you look at the approach plates they all look pretty good 'cept the first VOR 27 back into Lakeland -- on the way out I started tracking the wrong radial, and caught it about 2 minutes after the outbound leg. My correction is pretty obvious if you look at the looped procedure turn back in. My CFI is pretty cool and he just said "I was wondering when you were going to figure that out." On the next one I pretty much nailed it. I went a little further East on the outbound to lose some additional altitude since ATC put us higher on that approach.
All this took 1.5 hours from engine start to engine cut.
Lionheart, I'm sure there's a way to track flight sim journeys and poke it into google earth as well....I'm just not smart enough to figure it out. It would be a nice enhancement to the SIM though, and I could track my new Kodiak over the mountains.:woot:
I have found FSX to be very helpful in IFR training....lot cheaper too.
