In your view I take it you differentiate between NDB's, VOR's and GPS for some reason. Are they not all the same concept....navigation using some sort of electronic means?
SASless,

But I didn't say it was my view, nor that I agreed with it. It's the view of the CAA.

I use GPS and VOR/DME/NDBs routinely, every working day. Two GPSs, in fact, plus a nice moving map, also driven by GPS.

I use one GPS to back up the other and the other radio navaids to confirm that what I'm seeing is correct, in one contiguous package.

And I look out of the window a lot, too.

In my view, GPS is the best thing that's happened to aviation in decades.
