Centaurus,
You could always use an abbreviation such as below, or as you suggested, not reply at all! Obviously your attention span is somewhat limited by these sorts of things, otherwise you would have read to the end of the first sentence were I indicated that all 'individuals' are entitled to their own view/opinion, but that they should not suggest this is the only possibility!
I was not saying that EN-based training is 'the' way to go, so to speak, merely pointing out what I believe to be some of the pros and cons.
That is my view, and I stand by it!
As for, "the place for dedicated navigational training" being post-GFPT. I agree with one exception. If a student can foresee that they may have a considerable break in their training (eg. to save up for their navs, change in financial circumstances etc.), having the option of four or five airfields and their respective training areas to fly to, will surely provide greater scope for variety, fun and interesting aviating!
Just something else for the individual to consider.
As I said, my two cents.
Paul........Well done!
