The ones who cannot read a DME and VOR-------
Eclan,
At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, neither of the above are needed for VFR navigation. Indeed the (I hope) well know limitations of VORs could put you in controlled airspace, even though your cockpit indication may say otherwise. Just like an "inappropriate" GPS, really.

Again, at the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, VFR navigation is VFR navigation, and the VFR rules, I would have thought, are reasonably clear ---- even if most of our aviation rules are anything but clear.

Anything other than your maps, compass and clock are aids to VFR navigation ---- only aids, whose limitations should be understood.

Of course, our quite unnecessarily complex airspace divisions give no assistance at all, nor does the common attitude that a VFR aircraft is some lower form of life, and hence the paucity of assistance routinely available from our "ATC" system.

Tootle pip!!
