Flight 4 VOR back course

Post by 029-Richard »

Hi. Wonder if anyone could suggest a tutorial (YouTube or otherwise) for flying a back course away from a vor station in the DC-3 as suggested by legs 2 and 5 of this flight? I think I understand how to tune the nav radio and fly toward a vor signal using either hand flying or the Sperry, but am unsure how to fly away from the signal.
My apologies for such a basic query. Thanks.

Hi Richard
was enjoying the backcourse flight and as for a (new) Youtube on back course flying , be it towards a VOR station or away from a VOR station is explained in detail in this Youtube video

I guess this is that good that there is no need for a new video

Keep an eye on videos from @Flightinsight as they have many easy to follow youtube videos on all aspect of navigation and flying.
