You are never lost.
You can always say I'm somewhere in Australia.
The trick is narrowing it down from there.
How can you say were lost? Were on a bleedin' island aren't we.

I am also looking for longer articles that can be condensed into about 200 -300 words.
Don't waste your reader's time. Anything condensed into those few words is meaningless to any discerning reader. It is like saying do you want an hour of television reduced to ten seconds?

The cloud base, down through that hole, looks to be at least 1000' AGL..

The only thing worse than a FO who used to be a captain, is a Captain that has never been a First Officer.

There's a worldwide pilot shortage, do our CPL. course and you'll be flying airliners in 2 years!

Fast, cheap, reliable. Aircraft can be built to have any two of these three attributes.

Later on in commercial flying electronic aircraft :

What is the first thing you do when all the lights flash and all the warning horns sound ?

Answer:

Sit on your hands !

In other words don't do anything until you have had a good look at the situation.

Good advice given when I checked out on B707 aircraft.
