Well, there are other, more traditional, methods that are really pretty
essential if you're going to do that. 1 in 60 rule, for instance.
Determinging drift from aircraft ref points and celestial bodies, that

and use of a VOR was.


I know, but going vfr on top is kinda heavy territory for someone with a
fresh ppl anyway.

How many know the 1/60 rule?
