Really good videos. I am doing my IR(R) currently and these are great. I respect of the Gate, should this be adjusted to reflect the applied drift computation or should it always be calculated as 30 degrees left of teh outbound track on a righthand hold? Thanks again.
Strictly speaking, yes. The gate should be adjusted by the single drift value. Some schools use this, and some schools simply view it as a fixed gate that doesn't change with the wind. Personally, I've always found it simpler to use a fixed gate that isn't adjusted for the wind as it's only a rough indication of your position in the hold and not an exact science. Hope that helps!
