IMC
Interesting point JJ,
In fact thinking about it ... the latest Honeywell 'Sentinel' GPS has the usual topo features, but additionally: local height warning - clour coded for height above, at and below aircraft height. Improper use of that will really aggravate the present pressonitus problem.
Overall I tend to agree with the ;more emphasis' on training to avoid the IMC situation. As I usually tell my pilots ... its the Irishman and the bog syndrome. I won't start from that position. (with aplogies to my super mates over there!)
Take care all,
Dennis K
