Sounds like the guy hasn't done much research.

True, in fact they did a really ****ty job. They overspeed the planes
several times and had to circle around a couple times before they could
even find the very large targets.

They probably used a very simple straight forward method to address the
EFIS. They probably covered it up with duck tape. They weren't trying
to execute ILS approaches to mins here, they just flew (very poorly I
might add) the planes into giant targets. Some have speculated they may
have had Garmin 295's on them, making navigation about as difficult as
eating PopTarts.
