And you could easily fly 60 miles without seeing any obvious landmark by which to fix your position.

So you have proved it's a pointless excercise, just like over the sea then...no landmarks which the 1/60 rule relies on.

Gertrude, despite being a wombat you've apparently never been to Australia.

I have actually - yes, my reply was somewhat UK-centric.

The only flying I've done myself in Oz was from Jandakot to Rotto. But I have seen the thousands of miles of nothing out of the windows of various airliners, including a 747 from Sydney to Perth.

Certainly the only time I ever used the 1 in 60 rule was in a flight test, because I knew the examiner would be expecting me to do it.

I flew extensively in Oz and used 1:60 a lot. Every time I was VFR x-country, in fact.

All times are GMT. The time now is 22:05.
