To answer question: can you practice at home?

Yes, please see this app (flight innovation app) Best on tablet, proceed to student resources and then flight planning. You have - I believe everything you need to practice.

Please do not assume you require our flight planning spreadsheet. We have done it for years with just pen and paper. It’s designed only to speed up the process as we have only 200 hours in class. However good practice comes from figuring out your own wind component/ground speed etc. As you are required to know how for the exam. Instructions are in Flight Planning Guide booklet. We will not share PDFs as those are controlled documents. Please access thru the app. I am working on additional solutions. Also feel free to come in and use conference room computer to practice outside of your scheduled hours as long as instructor is on duty.
