Compass turns revisited
Got a little memory jog in the April 2006 Designee Update...other than
"Basic Instrument Flight Maneuvers," there is nothing in the 2004 (latest)
PTS about timed turns OR compass turns. Nothing. Nada. So instrument pilot
wannabes need not be concerned about demonstrating either one to the
examiner. The examiner has some degree of latitude in deciding just what a
"basic instrument flight maneuver" is...but no one is going to get a pink
slip with "Timed turns to headings" on it.
