I thought there was now by the introduction of the JAA PPL which includes the use of radio aids in the syllabus.

Of course,what happens when the alternator/battery fails <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

But to get back to the original thread: +/- 5 degrees is normally a good enough accuracy for PPL flying - but don't expect to do it from the overhead - pick a start point on track. It's a lot tidier form of nav.
