    I’ve been trying to get my head around sine and cosine rules all week. Just when I figured it out, I’ve found this video 😄. This is actually really useful and I’ll definitely be using this method for my test within a weeks time. Thanks for sharing 👍

    BRILLIANT!!! Finally...I'm taking the plunge and Taking an Introduction Flight Hopefully this weekend I have it all ahead of me I'm afraid, but your videos are brilliant I'm from Ireland so it was refreshing to see you use an Irish Aeronautical Chart I'm.so happy that you achieved your dream

    James I've got to say fella I laughed alot watching your videos. It's nice to see another (and bare with me here) normal nutcase enjoy flying and still have a sense of humour. Great information in all the videos and the plog is very helpful. I must say if you want a laugh you should watch my first solo flight hahhahaa it wasn't alowed on the club website due to the snot balls and swearing. Many thanks again and be safe. Sam.

    All you have to do is plug in your aircraft performance in foreflight tap your two fingers from where you are located to your diversion location and it will give you magnetic heading and time and how much fuel it will take

  • @mostafametwally1
    @mostafametwally1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice. Thanks. Can I ask where you got this from because I couldn’t find it being sold anywhere (thanks for providing a copy to download) but just wondering where it originally came from. And also how did you simulate the same wind conditions in SkyDemon so that you could check your figures. Great video

    • @TimesWithJames
      @TimesWithJames  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No worries mate. Practise like mad using the method I explained at the end. It’s the only way to simulate the mind mash up that is flying and diverting!

    @realbartie 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks James - this video I'm sure is going to be a lifesaver for me in a number of months... Only at Exercise 10 so far but know this is coming. Are they your own sheets that you have made? Also I assume Sky Demon is a no go for the skills test?

    • @TimesWithJames
      @TimesWithJames  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m not sure. As far as I’m concerned they should teach both methods. Right now I’m not used to using SD but it’s definitely the way to go (with a wizz wheel and map as backup!)

    Hi James. love the video and the diversion calculator. should make diversion calculations so much easier. However the way you have filmed this video is hard to watch. the constantly moving background is like being on a rolling ship! can you make it stationary??

  • @stephenknight4992
    @stephenknight4992 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Love the method but do you have a better quality sheet, it doesn’t reproduce very well. It is the first time I have been able to get a good breakdown and logical method. Really good vid and after testing it is accurate phew!

  • @stephenreckguitar
    @stephenreckguitar 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    James, your videos have been extremely helpful. Thank you. I'm at 44 hours and hoping to get cross country done when weather improves. Did you make the plog sheet yourself? Looks great. Wind card really useful by the way. I use the DP-1 diversion plotter which has a windstar built in.

    • @TimesWithJames
      @TimesWithJames  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      No worries Stephen. Glad they’ve helped you out. I designed the wind card myself!

    • @stephenreckguitar
