Unchecked:
If you re read my post I didn't say an RAF crewman doesn't get involved in Nav or flight planning - merely the fact that his CHF equivalent is more heavily involved in it - he has to be as he is trained to operate the aircraft single pilot. As for IF Nav - again he is trained in that skill on the OCU. Don't get confused with IFP, i.e climbing,descending turns on instruments for an hour - I freely admit that a Jungly crewie won't always jump in for that but an IF nav trip with various approaches - happens all the time.
I'm pleased to hear that an exchange was able to identify areas where he wasn't as well versed and admit it, it's why we send people on them and it displays something sadly missing by many posters on this thread - humility.
All the best RI
