No good moaning about the pilots, moan about/to the instructors that take £5000-£8000 off somebody for this kind of "training".

And while you are at it, have a moan at the CAA and the boring-old-fart "you must learn proper airmanship, young man" crowd for its anti-GPS attitude which ensures that the only way a lot of people can know where they are relative to airspace is by spending their entire flying life firmly in their local area (like the instructors, actually)

So GPS is the answer eh?

Hmmmm, I've been flying for the last 18 years wthout one and not busted any airspace yet .... suppose I'd better risk it no longer and go get one. I suppose I can at least save on buying those useless charts thingy's each year; but then what will I do for workshop wallpaper?
