Cyclic, you are very wrong about double PLB homings - just because the kit doesn't automatically present you with a graphical picture of the locations doesn't mean it is unusable. I give pilots this sort of scenario on their annual check rides all the time, over water IMC, over land or a combination of the 2 and I have yet to see one not completed satisfactorily. The kit does work with the new beacon but not as well as it did with the old one.
We could do it quicker with the Griffin homer but we don't have it - that's why we train hard to fight easy.
As for radar Vs homer - I have done a lot more IMC over water jobs using the radar than I ever have needing the homers - go figure
SARREMF - I know who you are now
