And that's why novices end up feature crawling and either getting lost or landing at the wrong airport.
Precisely. I recall a candidate who had to retake the Nav section of the Skill Tests. We passed over the first turning point before embarking upon a series of manoeuvres resembling a square search and finally attacking the turning point from about 90 degrees to the original track. When he finally anounced that this was his turning point, I asked why wasn't it the first time he passed over it? Had he flown Heading and Time, he would have passed his test, as it was, having failed the second attempt, he now had to retake the entire Skill Test.
