RE: OT Car Navigation - Automating my map reading <g>

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

I did an IMC rating about 10 years ago - that was the most stressful
flying I ever did - trying to plan a diversion in Luton airspace, in
cloud, trying to draw on a map (in turbulence), talk to the controller
and fly straight and level!

Luckily, not being instrument or IMC rated, I didn't have to cope with
bad
weather during simulated engine failure after takeoff practices. It was
bad enough trying to keep an eye on the airspeed, radioing a distress
call, finding a good spot to land, running through the pre-crash
checklist
and keeping a watch on the irritated farmer who might take a shot at
you
during the full-powered climb out.

Indeed.
