Well waddya know, an intelligent post. Navigation/navigating includes
the entire process of getting between point A and B. A big difference in
boats is that you can stop and check your work, whereas with a plane you
can't (well, you can circle for awhile, if you have the fuel). One
reason straight DR in zero visibility may be frowned on with planes.

There is absolutely no qualitative difference between navigating an

airplane

and navigating a boat, except the airplane also has an instrument to tell

you

how far above the ground you are. none.


Don't know too many planes that can stop in midair and hover till they
figure things out....... (just for starters)
