little while back there was a circular from airbus of pilots losing there "piloting skills".... no wonder, now we depend on Papi/Vasi/ILS ...
can't even remember the last time I used an ADF for an approach... let alone judge the touchdown point without the "ball"
guess if you have never flow without this high tech stuff then it just makes it a bit more difficult.
good luck guys..must have been a long flight back to AUH.
