RAF Navigation "Training"??
I was astonished recently to discover that RAF University Air Squadron trainee pilots are no longer taught how to use the basic navigation computer. I had someone in recently who had never seen one before, despite having had 2 years training! Hadn't a clue how to use the back of the circular part to do basic speed/distance/time calculations either. It seems that they just gash about using Mental Dead Reckoning and assume a speed of 2 miles per minute....
I know that HMFC doesn't teach much theory these days - but this is the giddy limit. 17 year old PPL students with 15 hours flying can master the computer, surely 'professional' military pilots should be able to as well?
