Guilty as charged.

Maybe they were meaning that it is becoming more common that the go to function is being used more when people are uncertain of position, then that track is not getting cross referenced back to the chart to ensure that your not going to go somewhere that your not meant to. And people arn't ensuring they actually know where they are mid waypoint thus their SA is compromised.

Or maybe folk have there heads in to much trying to work out what the box of tricks is doing when what it is saying doesn't agree with thier mental model of where they should be.

Just a suggestion.

There is a marked difference between a instrument trained pilot and waypoint usage and a VFR pilots use if they haven't been trained for it. There is also a big difference between an airways only Instrument pilot and a bandit country instrument pilot.
