Maintaining VFR altitudes when following N/S roads/rivers
In rec.aviation.piloting Mxsmanic wrote:
If you are following a road or river or other feature on the ground while
flying VFR, and that feature runs north/south but often veers off to one side
or the other, are you expected to change your altitude each time you move from
a heading of 0-179 to 180-359 or vice versa?
Yes but a real pilot would be following a point on the horizon to smooth
out such things and maintain a more or less constant heading.
