Despegue, I taught these subjects in the '90s, The syllabus was completely inappropriate for modern aircraft. No MNPS was examined, no RVSM, no modern systems at all (with the exception of GPWS and TCAS). There was no mention of Op Procedures as a subject at all, in General Nav candidates were required to plot routes on a 1:5,000,000 North Atlantic chart, we had only just stopped plotting on Mercators .... we have come a long way since then, but not without some pain.
