REVIEW - YOU CAN START ACTUALLY FLYING IN 2 WEEKS IF YOU FOCUS NOW AND GET THIS TEST DONE!!!

INTRO:  Remember these basic rules while doing VOR problems:
                1 - Decide which RADIAL you are on by looking OPPOSITE the To/From pointer!
                2 - If there is neither a TO nor a FROM indication, you are 90 degrees perpendicular from the OBS course selection
                3 - The VOR receiver has NO IDEA which way you are headed!  But...ASSUME you are headed in the same direction as the OBS selection (at the top of the indicator case)
                4 - Use the paper method for an EASY way to determine approximately WHERE your aircraft is:
                        - cover the half of the case that the To/From indicator points at, because you are NOT there! (you are going there...)
                        - then cover the half of the case the CDI is on, because this is where you are NOT!
                        - your aircraft is then located in the only 1/4 of the compass that is left showing

BIG TOPIC #1:  Applying VOR knowledge to actual problems on the test:
                            1 - Question 9-20: aircraft location while tuned to a specifi VOR
                            2 - Question 9-25: OBS selection to navigate directly TO a VOR
                            3 - Question 9-26: which of the 9 VOR indications is correct for this situation?
                            4 - Question 9-27: direction of aircraft from a VOR with CDI deflection
                            5 - Question 9-28: another like 9-26; choose the correct VOR indication
                            6 - Question 9-32: VOR Test Signal (think of always trying to go to where it's warm, like SOUTH!)

BIG TOPIC #2: Review Items Submitted by Students: 
                                                                                                        -- Gavin: Sectional Chart symbols (Legend 1)
                                                                                                        -- Aubrey: Questions on figuring magnetic headings (9.7 example)

HOMEWORK:   Next set of practice questions: do a FULL 60-question RANDOM test EVERY DAY THIS WEEK
                            -- IF you are scoring in the high 70s, I'd like you to try the FAA's published practice test:  https://faa.psiexams.com/FAA/login - go to PRACTICE EXAMS, then Private Pilot (PAR)
                            -- 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
