You also need the D&D 121.50 system which modern GA doesn't need.
Really???!!! I'm taught that if you're lost, D&D are there to help anyone who requires it and are only too happy too! 121.50 is a frequency which is etched on my brain!
If in general then, GA "doesn't need" the D&D; I have some questions. What sort of fuel loads do civilian schools teach students to carry? (OK, I know different aircraft have different weights, but generally speaking) How do they teach students to cope in an emergency where I would have no hesitation in using D&D?? I practice planning with a PLOG as well (to pass the skills test when it comes), but on the standard form, there is no where to put the fuel circle info which I put on the chart.
