shy torque
even before the efis/moving map displays and all the magic
I sat there over the overcast, with my chart on my lap, or in my favorite plane, in a very convenient place that the engineers came up with.
with cross radials, dme or not, I knew where I was and what places were suitable for landing within gliding distance (all engine out) or emergency descent for the myriad of reasons.
''fate is the hunter'' the hole of exquisite design...think about it.
if you are just sitting there, not considering options, above the overcast...even over the ocean and distance to shipping lanes...well good luck to you.
