Stuck above the clouds with no instruments

[pelmet]

Not a very smart cat, if it sticks around to be dropped the second time. Definitely the third time.

Maybe it likes aerobatics....or didn't have much of a choice.

Please don't try this at home....

Amazing.

I guess it can be used as a normal operational tactic as well. From another forum....

"When I was flying Bolkow 105's in the UK North Sea, many years ago, we did not have GPS we had Decca Doppler Navigation......look it up, not very accurate. I used to approach the rig (no passengers only me onboard) according to the Doppler and even though I could not see the Rig as I was above the clouds 1500' and then see if I could make the rig by going into autorotation and when I came out visually see if I could have landed on the Helideck......I never did manage to achieve a deck landing I got really close."

You guys are all fools. Do the obvious, use the force.

Yes - exactly. Find a hole in the clouds, then nose down and force your way through it at the earliest opportunity.

Use the whiskey compass for a heading

Depends on whether it is a Single Malt with one of those fancy Gaelic names or one of those excellent Prairie blends , the last compass that leaked a foul smelling fluid on me was not filled with sipping Whiskey , dats fur sure . I wouldnae thank yea fur a wee dram of that ya ken . Might be useful to help start a fire in a survival situation if your tanks are dry
