Todays students are not made fly in and out of a GAAP ie., archerfield,bankstown,morabin etc. just to look at key vfr points and I dont mean the ones on the VTC map.
By that I mean as an extra sortie taking up an hour or so. Maybe some schools do but I can tell you most dont. It used to be done once upon a time but not now.
You might argue that going to the training area and departing and entering from the x country navs in and out is enough but its not.
Try as an instructor to say this is what your gonna do today Blogs ie., in and ot of the circut area and the higher archy will jump on you telling you its not necessary.
Every time I check on who has had a VCA today its always the same, oh I lost track of where I was or forgot my VTC.
CASA dont care now they have other things to look at. When you learnt to fly in the seventies or eighties you feared the bloke from CASA but not now as you never see him and if you did he is probably ramping some poor charter pilot at a country AD.
