The GPS (GNSS) estimate is rubbish. It's based on your current g/s. Hence why you'll hear the rather ragged voice on the other end of the line saying "report amended estimate at top of climb"...(i.e. learn to use a prayer wheel).

The 'new generation' of pilots don't know their arse from a hole in the ground. And it's all our generations fault. We taught them.
