An interesting viewpoint that.
Maybe I paraphrased a bit too Succinctly. What the author was trying to put across was that by using the aforementioned clock codes and other techniques you could reduce the work load in the cockpit. Lets face it at 400kts by the time you've dug out the whiz wheel you'd have run out of green stuff and be flying over the blue wavy stuff!
draw a rough triangle of velocities on the chart and use that.
Ghengis is this a technique you've practised whilst airbourne in Microlights? If so I would be keen to know the finer points, as I may possibly be in a position to require this skill in the not too distant future.
Actually now It's come to mind, even something as simple as map handling becomes a challenge in a small open cockpit. I think I'll have to spend some time picking the brains of my local Microlighters. Still that's another story and a whole new thread.
