Original Message iwas a check airman for an HAA operator for over 10 years. I checked VFR and IFR pilots. It never ceased to amaze me when one of the younger pilots would just lose it without the GPS. There were a number of our pilotsmthat claimed the aircraft was not IFR legal if the GPS was inop. When did VOR navigation become difficult? Why can’t you identify a fix by the intersection of two VOR radials? Flying a DME arc is not magic. I spent much time treaching these skills. Come on folks GPS, although very nice to use, is not necessarily needed for IFR flight. Learn your trade and be a true professional. |
