Well said NS.
I generally always try to fly beacon to beacon, thats what they are there for!!!!
GPS or conventional RNAV with line drawn on the chart and a PLOG (my PLOG is actually drawn on the chart for VFR). Using the beacons from the GPS data base or using the conventional equipment reduces the risks of entering way-points into the GPS or the mistakes made by dead reckoning pilotage which is good airman-ship and reduces the risk of infringement.
I did scud run at 900ftf all the way home from Marcq en Barouil yesterday with a stop at Calais then across the channel still at 900ft to DVR-LAM then home in the Chipmink. It was amazing how many people had to ask me for the type code!
