what's the story behind the standard flying procedure of flying west if over land and east if over sea?
i think pilots are suppose to use this rule when they get lost.
i found it in http://science.howstuffworks.com/bermuda-triangle2.htm
look near the second to the last paragraph
Never heard that one. The direction you fly if you are lost depends on where you were the last time you knew where you were and what you know about the terrain.
There are rules assigning VFR and IFR altitudes for aircraft flying easterly and westerly headings.
And Paul Revere used one lantern to indicate the British were coming by land and two if by sea. That's the closest I have ever heard to what you describe. In 40 years of flying.
===EDIT===
We have no idea where "howstuffworks" got that idea, but it is not true. Pay it no attention.
