*Lesser words and more pictures*



Map.
Tracks are drawn, complete with Estimate Time Enroute (ETE), Minimun Safe Altitude (MSA).



Flight Plan.
To inform relevant Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) about our navigation sorties and the time they can expect us to arrive at their control zones.
One for ATC. One for Flight Ops. One for myself.




Navigation Log.
This is what we use in flight to jot down the setting course time, nav aids, ATIS, MSA, Fuel, bla bla bla..




Mass&Balance (also known as Load sheet).
Prepared on ground to check for CG position for Take-off and Landing.



METAR & TAF.
Got them one hour before flight. Updated every hourly.

Notam.
Notice to Airmen.

Radar Image (photostated).
Explained here.





CRP 5 & Douglas Protractor.
Lots of functions but mainly used for divertion, heading and time calculation.
Rarely use it in solo flight because two hands are just not enough to fly and do all these stuffs simultaneously. Mental calculation and thumb rules come in handy.




A photostated copy of Douglas Protractor with distance&time scale attached to it (using rubber band).
Makes my life so easy during divertion. Can measure track, distance and time much faster.
Highly recommended to all VFR pilots who are going to do nav sorties.




Jeppesen Charts.
Covering all the airfields nearby (eg: WMKL, WMKA, WMKP, WMKI). Very helpful in case of weather turns ugly and unable to visual with airfield.




Licence.
No licence, no fly. Simple as that.




**Anyway, I passed this PT with flying colours. 96%. ;)**
**Later at 1400hours local time, I will go for my last PT in single engine phase (PT4). Wish me luck!!**
