1) Descend to “1500” feet

“France was the first country to establish any kind of aeroplane industry. The Voisin brothers started it all out by laying down an assembly line of box-kite biplanes for anyone with enough money and courage to buy them! Sporting flyers also bought Antoinette and Bleriot monoplanes.”

2) When crossing the “San Gabriel River”, press “P” to pause the simulation

Record your:

Radial from SLIVOR_______________________(35 pts)

DME from SLI VOR________________________(25 pts)

Heading_________________________________(20 pts)

VSI ____________________________________(15 pts)

DME from VNY VOR_______________________(10 pts)

The LAX Class B boundary segment north of you uses

which VOR as its reference?_________________(10 pts)

What river is west of you?____________________(5 pts)

3) Press “P” to continue the simulation

4) When “15.0” DME from LAX VOR, turn RIGHT towards the “Hospital”

“This will change your life! The word 'hospital' comes from the Latin word hospitalis, which means a house or institution for guests. The oldest hospital still in existence is the one you're flying towards! It was founded during the A.D. 600's by a prehistoric Navajo Indian who accidentally fell on a Neanderthal arrowhead! OKAY, only kidding! But the oldest hospital still up and running is the Hotel Dieu in Paris, and it was founded in the 600's!”
