Penko, I agree with you, but to have the VOR needles showing, gives you a big clue about map shift, even if the 'GPS primary lost' isnt annunciated. In my new airline the SOP is to check prog page passing 10000ft to check it is still GPS primary/Acc Hi. What a waste of time! You either trust your systems, or turn them all off I believe.
And on a parallell matter our SOP is to tun off both FD after landing. Why? Just increases chances of departing again without. Certainly not an Airbus recommendation, as far as I (or my previous airline) know. Anyone else got ideas?
