 Re: Cross Country flight question.
captainphil, I am going to make a crazy suggestion. Despite the prevalence of group ground schools, excellent DVD and online materials, and solid training books, cross country planning is one of those subjects that really merit a 1-on-1 ground session with your CFI.
Part of the reason is that one-on-one answer =your= questions. Learning calculations is probably one of the most variable of all student learning skills.
Another part is that no matter how thorough and complete your calculations, the bottom line is that the result is only a guestimate. Accordingly, there is a lot of variety in the way it's taught, with some CFIs insisting that you do every calculation to 3 decimal places all the way down to enough to get by on the knowledge a oral tests.
