I was fortunate to come up at an outfit which still had their Chief Navigator until 1997. We all learned a lot from him about flying in different parts of the world. He had originally retired as a C-46 Captain and stayed on after 60 as a nav. If a position report or any other R/T wasn’t standard or correct it was noted on our nav line checks. If truth be told I think I learned more by way of tribal knowledge than the FAA, my airline, or the military ever taught me. That’s why the Captain’s are the ultimate teachers. If all else fails watch “The Twilight Zone”, episode 54-“The Odyssey of Flight 33”. Best R/T at 30 west you’ll ever hear!
