BP,
How do I file an IFR flightplan for aerobatics?
I was talking about becoming lost en-route. But since you ask, I suppose you could always do barrel rolls while following an airway, snap turns at the turning points, and don't call for descent until overhead your destination, then you practise your spins. Easy.

Thanks, but as you mention, that was during the arrival phase. What I've asked for were examples of actual disorientation en-route. I'm pretty sure I've come across such instances before, but right now I can't think of any except cases of poor INS performance on commercial flights, hence why I'm asking.
in the last year alone I can remember two F16 scrambles for a commercial aircraft entering the Dutch FIR without radio contact
I understand it's quite a common occurrence, but they're not lost at such, just a little behind the aeroplane
Anyway, I should have specifically asked about GA examples. Perhaps it would be better to start off another thread though.
Englishal,
GPS takes all the fun out of being lost, which is why this thread by and large pretends it doesn't exist, just like the JAR teaching syllabus does.
