Agreed, but given the number of commercial flights events like that are so rare that it's the GURPS equivalent of rolling 3 or 4 18s in a row and best left for situations where the GM really wants to mess with the characters.

Additionally, poor visibility can be a factor even when you're just using dead reckoning and not trying to get your bearings by looking at the lay of the land, especially if your maps/log tables/whatever are printed in itty bitty type.
