It's rare that the pilot loses situational awareness;
In the simulator we see it all the time. And I don't mean a pilot looking at his MAP and pointing to that VOR symbol over there. During the course of being radar vectored the instructor will cover or fail the MAP mode and freeze the simulator and ask the student to point to the position of the aircraft
on the Jepps chart.
You would be dismayed how many pilots have difficulty with this simple task. Sometimes the instructor will take control of the simulator and move the aircraft to several positions within a 50 mile radius and then ask the student to show his position on an en-route chart using RMI indications requiring cross radials or ADF readings coupled with DME readings. Again we see much sucking of teeth especially if the instructor then asks the student the MSA in that sector. This is only part of situational awareness by definition. Sometimes it takes several minutes for the student to work out his present position with much turning of the Jepps chart sideways or upside down. This is basic instrument navigation but reliance on the MAP has meant these navigation skills are lost.
