Photo & Map Analysis ExerciseEach Inbound Flight will take a series of pictures with a

digital camera of a selected location from at least two 90-degree angles and at an altitude that will provide the best perspective of the assigned area.

Pictures will be downloaded to a PowerPoint presentation and presented for analysis by the crew during the last academic session of the day.

Photos will be correlated with a Sectional to determine A/C position, heading and altitude.

Current winds aloft will be used to determine windward and lee side of ridge lines.

Suggested search patterns and altitudes will be discussed.
