QotM
====

For a day VFR cross-country, your planning shows arrival with 32 minutes
of fuel remaining at normal cruise consumption. The weather is good, but
winds aloft may be stronger than forecast. Is this a good plan?


Scenario
========

It' the beginning of a long flight when the engine informs you it has
other plans. Now the windscreen is covered with oil and you must act fast.
Do you have time to return to your departure airport? If so, how will you
approach and land given your forward visibility just dropped to zero?
