Maintaining VFR altitudes when following N/S roads/rivers
What you are doing is not pilotage.
Fly a straight line based on compass and wind correction computations. Time between visual points, towns, bridges, etc to compute ground speed. Correct the heading slightly based on "observations" from pilotage. just following a meandering river or road is not pilotage. BT "Mxsmanic" wrote in message ...
