I have wondered, how, the past few years, the large percentage of Oxford students who DON'T end up getting a job straight away in airlines, manage to survive out in the real world, operating in non-glass cockpit aircraft, operating from skinny little dirt/gravel strips etc etc, with no ADF, when this has been all they have known since their first hour of flying training?
I know a few oxford students, and was gobsmacked to see how much they rely on the moving map displays and other tech wizadry in the cockpit when I backseated a nav with one student a few months ago. Getting thrown into an old steam driven C210 with basic avionics and not much else must be quite a shock to some of them heading north to get hours!
