Is it time to swing your compass?

He had to go on the Trans Polar Arctic flights with BOAC ... for certification .....

I may be wrong - but I think it was done with Brittania's ... my head keeps throwing in CL44 ... but I don't think it was ...

Well, fortunately for aircraft, the Arctic is mostly an ocean, so there aren't any bits sticking up!

At 30,000 ft did it really make much odds ??

I can remember him mentioning Gander ... Anchorage .... etc all points of transit ....

I hope he wasn't flying across Antarctica - the ONC and JNC charts of Antarctica are up there with chocolate teapots!

Very true. I used to fly a turboprop over remote parts of Indonesia and carried an ONC as a back up, unfortunately much of it was white with "Relief Data Incomplete" ..
