Flying training brings its challenges, but deciding what equipment you need to buy shouldn’t be one of them. When it comes to starting navigation training, it can be difficult to figure out what you need, so the team at Pilot.ie have put together a starter pack. This pack contains the essentials to get you started with Exercise 18 on the PPL and/or LAPL and includes:
- The latest 2025 Irish VFR Chart
- Pooley’s APM Volume 3 – Navigation
- A CRP-1 Flight Computer – for accurate time, speed, and fuel calculations
- A Navigation Ruler – for measuring distance on your chart
- A Protractor – to easily plot headings and bearings
- A Flight Log Pad – to plan and record your routes
This pack not only saves you money on buying each of the items individually, but will also save you a significant amount on postage too. It also ensures you have the right equipment, when you need it meaning you won’t be wasting money once airborne!
