Ag-nav

[Guest CHEVY II]

To all who've ever used an Ag-Nav during Aerial Application, what was your general feeling towards it?

 

What were your favorite options, what weren't, and what in your opinion would make it better?

 

Has anyone used the Ag-Nav III yet?

Thx, in advance! :up:

[Guest CHEVY II]

Not a real popular item apparently!!!

Sorry Man,

 

The last agnav thing I used was watching the end of the cultivator behind my Dad's 8630 John Deere.

I've seen spray pilots go through a tonne of flags in a spray season. It's all in the training. If you use proper references and plan your block well, the only time you will need something other than your eyes and brain is when it is a very large block without interior visual boundaries (ie. windrows, roads, cliffs, etc.). At 75 cents a flag, it can get mighty expensive when you have someone with an itchy trigger finger. Although it's fun to try for targets like grizzleys or engineers. (The shot below was taken a few seconds before my trusted AME could avoid the Automatic Flagman turban he wore just as the 212 came in behind.) Ahh, back when flying was fun...

 

The flags do make great toilet paper in the bush, expensive as they are.
