I would be worried about the navigation and procedural skills of the average low time pilot if they only had a grand total of 5 hours training covering navigation and controlled airspace operations.
Is only 5 hours training required for an RPL to exercise similar navigation privileges to a PPL?
If so, what is the reasoning here?
This would be less than the typical hours a PPL student would have before being allowed to go on their first solo nav training exercise.
At that point most PPL students are still a way off completing their nav training and will still be lacking skills handling trickier diversions, low level nav and lost procedures etc.
Seems odd.
