This quiz is designed to help glider pilots who are about to make their first cross-country flights.
It is based on a lecture given by John Caton, who has kindly allowed it to be converted into a web site. Please
direct all suggestions about this quiz to John McCullagh at
The quiz is based on the 2004 edition of the half-million scale aeronautical chart for southern England. There will be places where there
is insufficient information on the portion of the map displayed to answer the question and you will need to consult your own copy of the chart.
If you do not have the chart, you should still find the quiz useful but you will not benefit completely. This quiz has only been tested
with Microsoft Internet Explorer with Java scripts enabled. If Javascripts are not enabled, you will get multiple nested frames
The charts have been reproduced by kind permission of Ordnance Survey © Crown Copyright NC/04/24904 and by the
kind permission of the Civil Aviation Authority. They have given permission to reproduce these charts provided that
they are not used for navigational purposes.
