Sitting in a Boscombe Down seminar earlier this year, a test pilot was enthusing about pilot centric approaches. I was struggling to work out what he meant until it dawned on me that follow the magenta line on the moving map and cross check with the approach plate was a whole new thing for Gazelle pilots - He explained the theory well, but it did make me wonder how far behind things are in the military (as it were).
I' ve no doubt he was a better pilot for not having GPS all these years, it just surprised me as the commercial world has been doing that for years and years...
