A large part of a student's helicopter flight training is spent on learning navigation. Navigation is an acquired skill and takes a lot of practice.
During the skills test you will have to carry out a navigation
diversion,snowboarding helmets. Navigation diversions can be the most scarey part of a
License Skills Test (LST) but I am going to show you a technique that I
use with all of my students and it works extremely well.
I will
assume that you are capable of doing normal navigation flight planning
and can also hold an altitude and heading during flight.
During
the navigation portion of the LST, your examiner will,gmax helmets, at some stage,
tell you that he wants you to divert to a different location. One
that you have not planned for. There are a few things you must do before
you head of blindly on a rough heading.
Before the flight, you
will have drawn a LARGE arrow on your map showing where the wind is
coming from and marked the wind speed and direction on this arrow.
You
will also have calculated the crosswind component for this wind at 30
degree intervals relative to the helicopter and drawn a table on your
chart.
This
may sound like a complicated method for teaching navigation diversions
but bear in mind that 90% of it is planned out on the ground before the
flight and you have actually very little to do during the flight.

This method is the simplest that I have ever used for helicopter flight
training and it actually works every time when used correctly.
