We have touched some precious GPS nerves... I'll add some more petrol. GPS should be banned from light aircraft. A chart, clock and pencil is all that is required. Enhanced situational awareness - spare me! That's what the chart is for - and it doesn't require power. Just fly the (sensible) heading and time and you won't be far off.
Hopefully, pilots aren't that daft...
They bloody well are. When GPS first came out in the UK, it didn't take long for the first victims to arrive. I've shepherded a few out of the Luton zone when I was flying a tug out of LCG at Dunstable. One was due to flat batteries, the other was finger trouble. Both had charts and working radios, but wasn't enough for these two.
