(3) Cross-country time means—

The point is can you land at some distant airport and not navigate to
it. Why even put that stupid statement in there?


Maybe to get their revenge on "Wrong Way" Corrigan?

But he used dead-reckoning. He was really wrong, but it doesn't say
anything about how accurate your navigation has to be.

If you believe Corrigan was actually lost, I have some nice sunny desert
resort property on the Olympic Peninsula to sell you.

Is that anywhere near a nice beach?

Damn, forgot the :-) again. Amazing what a lack of inflection can do to a
sentence.

BTW- I realize he wasn't really lost, but was denied permission to attempt
the flight and used that as his official excuse.

Douglas Corrigan knew perfectly well where he was going, and he got
there by navigating.

(For those of a younger generation, Corrigan was refused permission to
fly from New York to Ireland, so he declared that instead he was
flying to Los Angeles, and behold! He landed in Ireland by mistake. He
even wrote a book about it. Life was much more innocent in those
days.)

Yeah, but it doesn't say correctly navigate.
