And what is 'wrong' with using the VNC - or ANY OTHER 'AID' for that matter??
The VNC is 1:500 scale, has ALL of the NICE - 'CIRCLES' on it, with LL's, 'some' topographics - roads, pwr / rail lines etc, BLUE - for the 'water' - 'Baby-**** Green / Yellow' for the RMDR - VHF Freqs - ....AND.... its part of the AIP AUSTRALIA - it SAYS SO on the top front under the DATE etc. AND - - its FULL of 'SYMBOLS' ...
and....
Wait for it.....
Its issued by.....
AIRSERVICES AUSTRALIA...- all rights reserved worldwide!!
P.P.S. IF WE NOT ALLOWED to use them, then they should be issued FREE!!!
Just like in the 'Good Ole Days'.......
And.....if 'frinstance' ya didn't 'ave one when 'the inspector' called.....and HE rekoned ya needed one, Whaddya rekon He'd say???
Tell him to
GO AWAY I would venture...........
AND IT COSTS $11 to buy!! SO, WHY would you
NOT use it????
JJEEEEZZZUUUSSS !!!! UNBELIEVEABLE!!!
p.s. In my CPL Test days - we wern't allowed to use GPS either - it wasn't bloody invented then!!
But, we (I) did need to demonstrate a 'basic' understanding of the navaids of the time, although we (I) were (was) not 'graded' on them...
