Hi Howard,
Thank you for your thoughts on the Kollsman. I was a surface Navy navigator so am not at all familiar with aviation sextants. I became intrigued after reading a thread on Navlist about using FS 2020 for celnav practice. Which lead to a little investigation into the process of navigating a plane. A very different process indeed! I had better study up on the various aviation sextant designs out there and see if there is one that is suitable for practice only.
