Seconded. General Navigation was clearly dreamed up by a group of embittered and redundant navigators as a way of getting back at pilots. I've said it before and I'll say it again - out in the real world, the only bit of gen. nav I use on a daily basis is the 3 times table.
But it's not just general nav:
- What is the orbital altitude of GPS satellites?
- What is the minimum distance an aircraft which has been subject to unlawful interference must be parked from other aircraft?
The ATPLs are a hoop-jumping exercise, nothing more.
