How do you know when you are exactly overflying a specific spot on the
ground?
It's it just a matter of knowing your particular aircraft, or are there
tricks
that can help to determine this? I know you can look off the tip of your
wing
to see if you're abeam something (such as a runway), but how can you tell
when
you're right over something? I presume there's no way to look straight
down
from most aircraft, and it seems like the view over the nose is often
several
miles away.



Hey stupid, why do you cross post everything? Are you so half whitted you
don't even know where to ask you silly assed questions?

I don't cross-post everything, but in the case of this question, I thought
there might be more answeres in rec.aviation.piloting, but the question might
also be of interest to students.

Do you really think there are certified pilots around here trying to figure
out how to tell when they are over something. Geeez!

Sometimes I wonder if there are any pilots here at all.

Yeah I know, you seem to spend a lot of wondering, don't you?

Has he considered how most of the posters here have no problems with
each others posts?

And yet Mxsmanics posts cause great merriment amongst most here.

The mark of some-one out of their depth

I think he's in just the right depth, myself. Over his head.

Bingo, you've discovered our dirty little secret! Oh shucks. Oh well, no
pilots here, just a bunch of wannabees who can't give straight answers to
inane questions, sorry you had to discover this. Hopefully you will stop
asking all these questions of people who are obviously not worth to answer
you. Do let the door hit your ass on the way out.
