Please do put the flyers on your club noticeboard once you have noted down the contact information.The blue dot is your GPS and the green dotted lines point to the satellites from which it can receive information as you move about.I had a good talk to a lot of people there as well as a super guy at one of the flying schools on the airfield. Everyone agrees that there needs to be more people teaching the very basics of how exactly to enter the information into their GPSs. We know we need to enter routes before we fly but why does the order in which the buttons are pressed get so confusing Why is the instruction manual not telling me all the answers... 2008-11-22T00:00:00Z http://www.gpsgosh.com/page5.htm#32599 My trusty Garmin GPSMAP296 ensured an effortless transit past the east side of Farnborough and onwards into the Gatwick TMA to land at the Gatwick Aviation Museum a.k.a Vallance Byways. It is a tiny grass strip right next to the western threshold of LGW and is a terribly exciting place to land. Have a look at your Lockyears guide.It is approached from the north and just as you are about to fly over the Gatwick peritrack you turn west and hop over the trees and plant yourself on the strip. There is little room for error. A Shackleton marks the end of the runway and a long landing would leave you with Avro emprinted on the front of your aeroplane.Departing is not for the feint hearted. It had been a while since my last shortfield take off and I only just cleared the aircraft and the trees.The contents of the museum is far greater than I had imagined. If you love old aircraft this place comes highly recommended.httpwww.gatwickaviationmuseum.co... 2008-11-19T00:00:00Z http://www.gpsgosh.com/page5.htm#32533 Busy working to get the website to look just right.
