It is axiomatic that the taxi phase of flight, up till now at least, is a visual procedure that does not rely on instruments for navigation.
Curiously, as one who DOES use an instrument (a 20yo GPS with many preprogrammed waypoints for my area) to navigate a yacht at 6 knots on water, when I read of a misidentified runway incident such as
Lexington (2006) or
Singapore (2000), I am left wondering how on earth this is possible with GPS. The answer of course is that GPS is completely unnecessary when you can look out the window and see where you are.
Right?...
