Please help the novice here.
My GPS costing $100 can get me within 20 feet of my driveway and a modern airplane cannot get within several miles of a runway.
There is something sadly wrong here.
I understand the issue of pilots sometimes relying too much on automation and forget how to fly, but shouldn't inexpensive technology like a GPS be the third member in the cockpit?
CPGPS (more expensive) is accurate to about 1 inch.
I am certain that most professional pilots use a GPS in their own car.
