Know Your Way Out

“Assuming you have done due diligence with your preflight briefing and you decide to launch in less-than-visual conditions or instrument meteorological conditions, it is prudent to know the direction of your best “out.” That is, be sure to know which general direction you can turn should conditions worsen. Ultimately, the way out may be a sideways diversion, a course reversal, a higher or lower altitude, or even an immediate landing. Those options should already be on your radar before takeoff and reevaluated regularly during the course of the flight.” (p. 85)
