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.


Pilotage is supposedly navigation by visual landmarks, which presumably
includes roads and rivers. Successful pilotage implies that you can
navigate
with just the visual features and a chart. If you are using calculations
to
determine your position, it's more like dead reckoning. I do try to
navigate
that way, too, but periodically I like to practice navigation by visual
features on the land below alone.


If you are such a scholar on navigation, why are you asking dumb assed
questions?

If you just answer his DAQ then maybe the Newbies can benefit. Think of his
questions as elementary and now is an opportunity to help others....like
"why is he sky blue" or "where do babies come from". I went through a bunch
of his q's and although they are very juvenile and elementary, many in this
community got the answers wrong. So take the Q's as they are...you
know...when life hands you lemons...get a glass of gin, some ice and make
yourself a nice drink...or something like that. Iow, make the most of it
and use his q's to educate all those who are listening in. If you can't
answer his q's then please shut up and he'll go away.

sockpuppet.
