pilots only, please - gps or altimeter?
hypothetical situation: you're a blue sky vfr flyer and somehow you wind up in the soup - after having gone 2 hours and 200 miles from your take-off point , you wake up from a nice little nap and discover you're inside the milk bottle. Head in the direction of the airport, lean as much as possible, start a best climb speed to gain as much time in the air after the fan stops, then communicate. Hope that your altitude is enough to glide to the airport, glide at best glide speed until close to the ground, then set up for stall plus 5 and wait to come out of the clouds, or to hit the ground, which ever comes first. -- Jim in NC
