As one of the old school being able to properly read a WAC is almost a lost art. The paper chart is nice to have if the screen goes blank.
Folk have complained that there’s nothing to see on the Tanami wac or the ground …but there is if you look at both carefully.
aEarly trips there before gps accurate nav and careful map reading was a must.
With gps it became a doddle…providing the battery didn’t go flat.
And Honiara to Nauru, wasn’t it lovely with all that wide blue Pacific to see the ADF needle indicate the destination.
