Yes indeed! A bit too slick even for the Bo. I had another look in the log-book. It was
1.7 hr NOT 1.1 hr. Still, that's not bad for GPS/RNAV, ILS and NDB all flown in the aeroplane. That's wheels off to wheels on from the GPS, whereas I think the Duchless has a Hobbs meter.
The YIFL NDB Appr is somewhat prolonged by the time you make a sector entry, reversal turn, 3.5 min outbound, base turn, and 3.5 min inbound!
