just remember scottie,
after a certain amount of time, you have flown a specific distance.
You have to fly
5 DEGREES off your intended course for
60 MILES to be
5 MILES on either side of your intended fix. If you cant see your fix 5 miles away, your fix isnt big enough.
and at 120 kts, it will take you
HALF AN HOUR...!! If you fly 5 degrees off course for 30 MINUTES, sorry, but you dont deserve your licence.
dude, when you fly in the outback of Oz, your flying 1 hour between towns, looking at nothing but dry ground.
believe in your ability to fly well, fly your heading, and know your groundspeed, and I guarantee you will never be more than 2 miles off track. EVER.
makes navigating much easier...
