So what are you telling us? That it’s normal just to enter the flight plan’s coordinates into the Delco Carousel-4A or Litton-72 box, assuming that they’re the same as yesterday’s or last week’s and be done with it? Without cross-checking the positions on a map or plotting chart? The crew had over 5 hours en route to dabble with that. And it was Collins’ first Antarctica trip.
