Anybody know what's going on with this hurricane and training?
Aside from being told to leave if we want to and not given an order for mandatory evacuation, that sims are secured for Monday but classes may still be on going (which invalidates the command to leave if you desire), none of us really have any idea...

All training is secured until further notice. There are working parties tomorrow, check the schedule and see if you are on it. Check the schedule everyday. Contact your flt lead/class adviser if you are evac'ing or need some sort of assistance (or PM me).
The base will probably close tomorrow PM, reopen is tbd, look at a few days. Stay safe and be prepared to come in a day or 2 after the storm passes. Working parties can be expected, depending on severity/damage.
Any further questions let me know man.
Failed card stuff will go away in helo land with the introduction of the D, whenever that happens. It's pretty useless in the glass cockpit 60s anyway, as a loss of your gyros means nothing is displayed.
We still have that fantastic stby compass...!
Of course, you notified ATC immediately, hawked the standby compass, and made a seamless transition to failed-card ADF holding each time.
Actually, I simply hung my head, cried, declared an emergency, and squawked 7700 because I, like most studs, am unable to NAV sans-GPS.
Although Super Nav 5 is nice when you sit in the back and can't see anything.
Never really a fan of Super Nav 5. I get that it's a ghetto moving map, but as bottom-feeding rotor trash who "follows roads," I find some of the other data screens to be more useful in building SA on VNAVs.
I have found, however, Super Nav 5 to be useful in backing up navigation on the airways...but in this day and age of RNAV aircraft in radar environments (at least, environments that the mighty Sea Ranger can operate in), we're almost always hooked up with GPS-direct routing anyway.
D/T 4 is the best.
Gatordev said:I think it helps that you can see more than from 2:30-5:30 and 6:30 to 9:30.
My technique was to set a DRCT TO the airport (not the navaid) and then go OBS and spin in the FAC.
