Does IO540 have some sort of obsession with GPS?
Oh for F*CKS sake!
Some people like to fly without GPS, some people like to look out the window, some people like to use a map occasionally. Flying isn't JUST about switching on all the gadgets and following the lines. .
Let's examine the supporting evidence for the above statements, based on what I
actually said in this thread...
It should have been ON the whole time, checked for satellite reception before starting the taxi. Do you push start your car, and use the starter motor only when too tired or when parked uphill?
As to those having a go at me over suggesting that a GPS should be switched on if it is being carried at all, I am suprised as some who did should definitely know better. A GPS in the bag, not switched on, is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.
So, I think some people are getting a bit over-excited. Must be the summer weather
