) Criticisms of the whizzwheel, why no GPS etc etc etc. OK, if you could change the nav syllabus, how would you teach it?
What would you include/take out/put in? Bear in mind you'll have to include emergency procedures for when electrics, batteries etc fail. And what to do when you have no PC access on a small airfield in France, for instance.
And you can't just say something is rubbish; you have to come up with a better way.

The analogy was fine, thanks. You just didn't like the message that it was sending out. (If you must, think of the 'magenta line' as the aviation equivalent of voice prompts.)
