@ Phil77: You are not supposed to confess to anybody but yourself (and you crew) that you are actually lost in the first place. Maybe your crewmember knows where you are, but does not know that you have no f***ing clue.
The part were you tell the hole world that you really f***ed up comes later, when you communicate. If you fixed you position after you climbed, you wonīt have to talk to anybody.
... and in a helicopter you can always land. Much better than busting any airspace. In my part of the world with mode "s" transponder they will get you anyway, even if you sqawk in stby.

Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.
