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.

If you think such Geographic Trivia is pertinent to Situational Awareness,
in instrument flight, I don't think I want to be in the same airspace.

No wonder the folks in the next step up from recreational flight have 3-5
times better safety records than the spam car drivers.

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.
