(rain date Saturday, January 27th)The Challenge:
Shut off your GPSs and VORs, and prove you can you still do a VFR ground-reference plan and actual flight!
VFR weather at 4,000' or better - Rain date is Saturday, October 12th.
When you arrive at GMU, you will be given the routing, over several waypoints; figure out your time from wheels off the ground at GMU to the first waypoint, your time from there to the second waypoint, and so on, until touchdown at GMU. Observers on the ground at each waypoint will/must spot you overhead; you get one point for each minute you are early or late at each waypoint and for touchdown at GMU. Zero is a perfect score; lowest score wins - 2 free lunches at Runway Cafe.
You had to do VFR flight by ground reference as a student pilot - now prove you can still do it! Passengers can play, too can you outscore your pilot?
