NDB Navigational Error

All pilots flying in the area of Yangon on ADF be advised that to the NE of Yangon, there are two high ranged (75nm) NDBs that are withing range of each other and share the same frequency (265.0).

I was flying to one of them (BGO) and and my ADF picked up on the other which made figuring out where to go next somewhat confusing when the needle points to a completely different heading than what DR says you should be on.

Perfect opportunity to brush up on our morse code identifiers ;)
 
A timely discovery, since I'm headed for those parts now. Thanks, Willy!

Hi all,

Just a reminder that we have, in essence, five contests. They are:

  • Golden Age Speed Race.
  • Golden Age Handicap Race.
  • Modern General Aviation Speed Race.
  • Modern General Aviation Handicap Race.
  • Precision Flying. (Both classes of aircraft qualify.)
Note that an entry may win either the Speed Race or the Handicap Race in any given class. This forced choice mimicks that of the 1934 MacRoberston--it nicely spreads the rewards. Pilots will make their choices shortly after the official end of the the competition.

The pilots choose the Speed or Handicap division in order of their finish in the Speed Race. For example, Tom (Vicious) seems about to win both the Speed and Handicap Races in the Golden Age class. He must choose which one he will win. That choice having been made, then the second finisher in the Speed Race (at the moment Bry) chooses Speed or Handicap. And so on within the Golden Age class.

The same sequence applies for the Modern General Aviation class as well.

The Race Committee will award 3 prizes in each contest: Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Any entry is eligible for only one prize in each racing class. (Though note that a pilot may be on several entries.)

All pilots are also eligible for the Precision Flying prizes.

Some pilots may discover that they are competitive when they at first thought they were not. Some close scrutiny of the aircraft capabilities, actual performance, and the prizes available may prove interesting.

Strong Head Winds.

some users of this add on have reported that it only works effectively when flying on line with jkcook28.

other users have report once installed there is no way to (blankety blank blank) shut this thing off or remove it.

Finally if you find your head winds turn to strong tail winds 10 minutes away from your destination airport...

Get used to it or change your destination. That way you will be sure to get your head winds back.
