Getting lost is part of learning too you know.
That is a "Radio Eriwan" issue. In principle, yes. But, training syllabus usually shows a King Arthur approach, always round the table, and 90% is spent in traffic circuits. I see an even increasing number of students now coming to the last 10% x-country with G1000, must-have GNS430s und iPads thought as mandatory. Quite some of my fellow trainer let them do, even though the flight school explicitly does not want them to. Yes, there is still an item "how to re-orient when lost geo awareness" on the list, but how many times does a student really do this, one or two times? I still have a mandatory check flight with students before exams without any GPS or moving map and am always surprised how little effort students want to spend to learn how to orient in space. Is biological capability for orientation really a fading anachronism?
But let us open a new thread on that, not to obscure the quest for iPad or iPad Mini.
