Does anyone remember pilotage with a , what do you call it..... Paper Sectional??????

I thought pilotage was what you did in a crosswind landing.

Ed-
I still do pilotage, I just use the moving map on the GPS instead of a paper chart!

Oh that pilotage.
Yeah, I have an app for that.

It's a real PITA to swing one. Sometimes it takes all day. Worst part is getting tail up for every heading check.

Not a problem with a pivoting windshield mount. I set the compass to be level with the ground, do the check, then set it back to flight level.

Lol. That's what I had after moving the compass to the upper windshield, except that the radio had no effect. I had to move the overhead speaker to the left wing root to make the compass work.
