turboplanner Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Why didn't you use your feet Guernsy? Fme, missed your decision to abandon - good decision when that happens. Even if it starts to clear it often gives you stress you don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J170 Owner Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Don't use kilometers. Use nautical miles because that is what aviators use. You will quickly get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
