md600Driver ,,, What on earth do you need a GPS map display to show you the rising ground when flying VFR. This just shows us how we are getting away from sensibility. You were provided with a set of eyes which require you to look out of the window to avoid hitting other aircraft and the ground. TCAS is fine if it warns you of the unseen. I am getting the impression that due to all these cockpit warning devices and moving map displays that LOOKOUT is being seriously damaged/degraded.
Surely when flying VFR you should have done your flight planning, drawn the track on your map and computed the headings and times. Then when in flight the eyes are looking out other than for the periodic scan of the instruments and checking position. Or am I of the past world and all these things are now done by magic.
Flying IFR is another topic
