There's tricks to figuring out where you are when you go astray.
But first, use techniques to keep you from going astray - deliberately
build in a slight bias to one side or the other in your course toward
your objective.
Had a flight student in the late 60's that used this technique. He had
been Special Forces and served a couple tours in Vietnam. He always
planned his cross country flights to pass a couple miles to the right of
his destination airport. I never could get him to fly direct to an
airport, but, then again, he always knew which window to look out to
find the airport when his ETA came.
If you have an old fashion analog watch, point the hour hand toward
the sun; halfway between the hour hand and 12 points SOUTH - down
under it points NORTH.
Gotta remember to compensate, though, if you're on DST. ;-)
I carry a loud ball-whistle. Nothing on earth makes that noise naturally.
Amen!
