Trying to drag it back to EGLL infringements - There is something going seriously wrong with the execution or teaching of Nav and we need to get our house in order. I also, believe the very different approach in the UK vs the USA towards Navaids in general and GPS in particular is a contributoory factor. A surprisingly large number of basic PPLs I have met seem to have no clue on Nav other than the DR/Pilotage skills required in the PPL.
