There are still people who like the old map+compass+stopwatch method
Splendid point. As a low hours PPL who can't usually afford to travel long distances, a good deal of the satisfaction I get from flying is in planning the route, and then flying it using the compass, map and stopwatch. While I would never dream of denigrating the reliability and practicality of using GPS, I
would venture to suggest that perhaps too many new PPLs forget the fun involved in dr etc once they're let loose with their shiny new Garmins.
Just a thought.
