Out of interest, how do commercial pilots navigate? What I also have though is the basic skills that, if all that failed I would still be able to work out where I was going - and that started with what I learnt during my PPL training! To me there is no argument against GPS once you have learnt the basics, it is replacing the basics with GPS that I disagree with. |
'ICE' is my reminder for the transponder:
7500 - 'I'nterference 7600 - 'C'ommunication 7700 - 'E'mergency |

I certainly never suggested that the basics not be taught first and I have not seen any other instructor say that either. What I did say is rather than pretending GPS doesn't exist in the PPL course I think that it should be introduced after the basic concepts. Done properly it reinforces good navigational practices. |
That is the question reduced to a binary choice again. In PPL training GPS Bad ! anywhere, anytime, Basic nav GOOD ! all the time, everywhere |
