100BMEP the real truth is most pilots are not only capable of hand flying any aircraft they enjoy it.
I understand the " magenta line " concept also but it is only another aid just like using the B.F.O. position on an ADF or doing a star shot with the Astro compass.
I guess I was just to old to be a child of the magenta line.
I would like to see them bring back the Radio Range.....something that does not require hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of magic boxes to use.
True happiness was finding the cone of silence.
