Feature Article: Opinion

Where am I, Where am I diverting to, what direction is it, Turn the airplane that direction, How far away is it, do I have enough fuel to get there? Do I need to climb to clear higher terrain, Are there restricted or controlled airspaces along the route, is there anyone I have to talk to along the way. Am I on flight following, notify changes. Do I have a VFR Flight plan? Call Flight watch and notify of changes, get new weather whether VFR flight plan or not.

As with anything else in aviation, take a logical order. First you have to decide what you want to do and how to do it. Then you check for the things that will kill you. You proceed to the things that will get you in trouble, and then go and communicate with the people who will get annoyed at you if you don't.
