Note the 90-degree marks on the heading indicator as these help with orientation.

Savannah, Georgia

Gary's Flight Journal

I launched from runway three-two and pointed for the Snow Hill VOR. We flew on top of a scattered turned broken layer having to descend through it to break out for the visual approach runway two-three into our fuel stop at Grand Strand KCRE.
