Title: Re: Navigation

Thanks for your response, David Paul. I know how to use the ATC (sort of, I'm no expert, but I can use it.) and an IFR flight plan, but I'm used to using FMCs and the GPS in the Primary Flight Display on an aircraft such as the 767. I'm not, however, very well versed in old-style navigation without a GPS. I know the 727 comes with one, but the technology wasn't readily available at the time, so I would prefer not to use it.

Here's my flight: I have taken off at runway heading from Minneapolis (they vectored me to that heading and told me to maintain 10,000'). My next VOR (I'm flying VOR to VOR) is DWN. How do I reach the VOR without my GPS? I know I have to go at a heading of 222, but I wouldn't know when I've reached it and when to head to the next VOR. Oh, and I'll use manual navigation for this flight. Thanks!
