RadioSaigon,
I think people are suggesting that it is an excellent opportunity to practice the time tested 1/60 Navigation. I remember flying out that way during my training (no GPS) and it was a real sense of achievement knowing that the 1/60 and my map reading skills were up to the challenge. Yes it is a glass cockpit and yes there are plenty of fancy gadgets with bells and whistles but at the end of the day it is good to have the basic raw skills in preparation for the day things are against you (GPS failure etc.). Why do you think airlines practice no FD/Raw Data on the standby ADI approaches in the simulator on a regular basis? It's to make sure those skills are still there and it gives the pilot confidence knowing that he has the ability to get by if things turn bad.
