                    - when registering, you are NOT with a "Part 141" school - select "OTHER STATEMENT or ENDORSEMENT of ELIGIBILITY" as your "Authorization Category"
                    - with the new system in place, you will need to take your own flight computer, calculator and plotter
                    - This is a sample of the letter you'll need from me in order to take the test:  FAA Test Authorization Letter

BIG TOPIC #1:  VOR - the last of the ground-based navigation systems (See Fig. 28 in Test Supplement)
                            -- Highway in the Sky interesections - Victor Routes - outbound on a radial, inbound on a course
                            -- Whiteboard - how it works
                            -- Concept of a 'homing' device - it always points to the station
                            -- Radials versus Courses
                            -- The main parts of a VOR - Bearing Pointer (and Tail), OBS (Omni-Bearing Selector), To/From Indicator, CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) and OFF flag (Handout); along with the Cone of Confusion and the Compass Rose
                            -- How to tell where you are - LOOK AT THE TO/FROM indicator to determine which radial you're on
                            -- MUST be used in conjunction with your DG (Directional Gyro) or compass; the VOR itself has no idea which way you're heading!
                            -- VOR Handout

BIG TOPIC #2: GPS - a space-based navigation system
-- Read the description of the system in your Test Guide

HOMEWORK:   Next set of practice questions: do a FULL 60-question RANDOM test (be sure to select ALL categories, and choose 60 questions)
                             -- You will get a YOUR ACTUAL SCORE on the remainder of these pratice tests; take as many as you like and send a screenshot of
                                 your highest score to Colonel for credit
