It seems pretty shabby if they haven't got RNAV type stuff in there. I would think a focus on this and the possible pitfalls (finger trouble, lack of familiarity with the type of equipment you're using, loss of situational awareness by blindly tracking to waypoints etc) would be highly relevant.

Still, not to be a dinosaur, but good orientation skills using a simple pointer type instrument, be it fixed card or RMI, will still continue to be necessary for some years until every aircraft has some kind of swept-up moving map display I suppose.
