Do you use cruise power, or do you slow down to give yourself more time to react to obstacles and populated areas?

There's plenty of time at cruise power to react. A dakota only does
140 on a good day. Maybe 160 with a tail wind. (Tail winds are
mainly a myth. It takes twenty seconds or more to cover a mile.

This is obviously not the kind of flying you hand over to George while
you make a ham sandwich, and I wouldn't do this in two miles and mist,
but by focusing on the high-definition wraparound panoramic plexiglass
screen (HDWPPS) one can easily avoid tilting at windmills.
