EFT Groundschool
Beags I agree with much of what you say. May I point out as one who was at the JEFTS coalface that the pressure to abandon the DC and go strongly for MDR was entirely from the Fast Jet mob, to whom it almost certainly is useless. In my view it is not sensible to fly at puddlejumping speeds in wind speeds of 20kts+ without modifying fixes/turning point times by proper calculation on the DC. It does not take long and saves much embarassment. In early pilot days nav should be relatively unfraught, all the hassle can come later.
