WAC vs VNC

As an instructor Ive recently been thrown into a region where the WAC is the only option.

And, what a useless map it is! The most recent edition has completely omitted power lines, one of the few realistic fix options available!!!

The scale is unrealistic for use in a practical manner during VFR operations.
Now in NT they might be reasonable, but Im talking about navigating through valleys a few hundred metres across.
Back in Unzud the 1:1mil maps have "For planning purposes only" stamped across them, for just this reason.

Yet, I still see the CFI's logic. Learn to navigate using this cr@p alone, and things will only get easier from there!
