I must have missed something. When I first got my PPL I thought one of the attractions was being able to pitch up at the airfield, do the minimum if planning and then bugger off in the plane. Twirling knobs and buttons, whacking courses and other such guff into bits of silicon is not my idea of fun. Pen, chart, watch and a good look out the window. Brilliant! The best GPS? The one that's left in the shop when you leave.
