Default I don't know how to flight plan any more

Right - a local landmark that is a navigable waterway with barge traffic to
an inland port that stretches from the Colorado Rockies to the Mississippi
River. Silly me expecting someone to have an inkling of where or what that
might be. I stand corrected Matt.

Just curious - he had the airport in sight. Still, it was a wonderful
example to drive home the concept of situational awareness I was trying
to teach the kids.


If situational awareness (SA) includes knowing local landmarks that at
irrelevant to the situation at hand, I'd say your concept of SA is faulty.

That maybe why G-V drivers have a far better accident record than the Rec
Aviation amatures.
