But to claim that there is "no qualitative difference between navigating" a
plane and boat just shows you have no practical experience doing either.

quite the contrary. it shows I have done both.

actually, in air nav you don't have to make as much allowance for winds, for
the speed of the an airplane is many times the speed of the winds, for the
aircraft flights under discussion here.

There are no aircraft flights under discussion here. However, if we're talking
about planes where electronics might not be used, then the speed is probably
rather low, and the wind speed could easily be 20% of the plane speed. Worse,
you could have a significant wind shift and have no idea it happened. In a
boat, the currents are usually under a knot, and rarely is the deviation from
the prediction more than knot. You seem to be basing your entire claim on the
possibility of unexpected 10 knot current in totally random directions. This
show your complete lack of experience.

Further, your completely ignoring that fact that for piloting, a major part of
navigation, there are many techniques that have no analogue in flying. But you
wouldn't know anything about this, would you?

In other words, this discussion has gone way beyond your limited capacity to
understand.

Its very simple, jaxie: a 20 knot crosswind affects a 100 knot airplane about
the same way that a 1 knot cross current affects a 5 knot sailboat. There is a
major difference, however: the wind can change dramatically with little notice
and no way to detect it, resulting in huge potential errors for the plane, while
the current is usually well behaved, especially if you understand the local
conditions.

You never have done either, have you jaxie?

jeffies, don't comment on how aircraft fly. you don't have a clew.

you should know **if** you did have that degree in physics you claim you have,
but you don't.

So tell us please, jaxie, what is the difference? So far, you have only
demonstrated your ignorance in both air and nautical navigation. Why don't you
try for space navigation?

jeffies, I stated from the get-go that there is no qualitative difference
between air and sea navigation.

It's a physics thing. get your wife to explain it to you.

you

Oh? How much allowance do you give for currents on these airplanes?

otn

whatever their speed and direction relative to your speed and direction. is
that hard for you to understand, over the knee?

Interesting. So what your saying is, that airplanes are affected by
ocean currents. Just where is it you say you "fly"?
