A training call is just that, pretending that you aren't lost when you are is about as unprofessional as you can get.
If people can't admit that they are lost because of their ego's, then I'd rather thay weren't sitting in the cockpit of an a/c. Ego kills more people in flying than anything else.
No-one is going to slap your legs if you get lost and to be honest with the general standard of navigation skills in PPL-land I'm amazed D and D aren't snowed under continually.
Use the system corrrectly or fill your a/c with GPS's so you always have a backup rather than relying on hoodwinking an excellent system. Failing that, learn how to navigate properly in the first place and then keep it up.
If you are genuinely lost, then D&D can offer you all sorts of help that you may not realise you need. If you pretend that you are training, then this help won't be as forthcoming.
Again, use it correctly, or don't use it at all.
If I caught any of my students or members playing this game, they'd get a kicking of monumental proportions.
