I'm delighted to tell you that I've got GPWS, Enhanced GPWS (GPS mapped terrain warning system) as well as TCAS/ACAS.

But I still don't care for vectors at night in unfamiliar places, especially outside the lower 48 states. Flying only there can coax you into habits that may frighten you elsewhere.

Mildly irritating when the other fellow/woman wants to do a visual approach, squinting through the windshield etc. There are two IRSs, a gyro-powered AHRS, two FMSs amounting to $1 million in avionics. But he or she wants to use the Model 1A eyeball to find the airfield. (Don't mind me, I'm on a rant.)
