I can only say that your last post takes the art of polemic to rabid levels, as well as misrepresenting the facts of my post.
1 - I didn't get lost, I was unable to satisfactorily confirm ded reckoning by pilotage at a waypoint due to sun/haze - could only see one line feature and could not triangulate - if you cannot understand the difference between being unable to confirm your exact position and being lost, you are a fool
2 - Even at 70 hours, I had enough airmanship to realise that an airspace bust was a possibility, without further action
2 - My training fix call was an appropriate use of the service
3 - I acted within the ANO and didn't bust controlled airspace
4 - I learned that visual nav and sun/haze was not a good combination and took extra training to ensure I was better prepared
So, in conclusion, I didn't break any laws, didn't cause any flights to take avoiding action, used the service as recommended by the national authority and then topped up my knowledge to avoid a repetition in the next 12 years.
And you have the temerity and arrogance to make your last post.
Capt Airprox and others take a far more sensible line
