Been across on many occasions good & bad vis so the lack of a horizon is something I'm not concerned about. Usually go Lydd - Cap Griz Nez (As instructed)
Last time return leg was flown direct Dieppe-Lydd great weather so I thought why not, used GPS and LYD VOR. Great saving on the tacho too!

However I was just wondering if it would raise a few eyebrows in the clubhouse if in the future I started submitting flight plans with direct mid channel waypoint included in it.

If somebody then questioned my reason for doing this, you have all now told me that I'm not the only person out there doing it!

Thanks all for all your posts
