Which is why my ac all have VORx2, DME, ADF, ILSx2, GS Rx, Mode C, panel mounted GPS...... .. .I've double checked the FE's Handbook and there is NO requirement for the Examiner to 'get you lost'! You look after the nav during the navex and diversion, the FE then looks after it until telling you exactly where you are after the GH section prior to your recovery to the aerodrome.. .. .If you are unsuccessful and feel that the test was conducted incorrectly, you should advise the FE that you will be contacting the Chief Flight Examiner. . .. .It could well be that this uncertainty results from your FIs not being up to date with the Skill Test Requirements, of course!
