Default Sectional use

In a previous article, "Jay Honeck" said:
What's a "sectional"?

ducking!

Seriously, how many here still use them for primary navigation? I
honestly can't say I know anyone who does, anymore.


I always draw the course line on the sectional (and write the direction
beside the line), even if I don't plan to use it en-route, because once I
didn't and the batteries on my GPS failed (because the stupid cigarette
lighter port was broken) and I couldn't remember the heading I was
supposed to fly after the next turn.

I have a longstanding agreement with tequila:
I won't drink it, and it won't make me sick.
