Radios are not required at the vast majority of airports in the US. I can
assure you that VFR pilots fly uncontrolled fields without turning on a
radio every day, if they even have one. Right, wrong, good, bad or
indifferent, no one can assume all aircraft in an uncontrolled pattern
are
even using a radio if they have it. Much less a chart that gives IFR
reporting points.


I don't need your assurances, I'm very much aware of the level of VFR
flying done without radios. The point is many pilots WITH radios
substitute them for a proper traffic scan.



No, your question was do pilots fly without charts. Your just trolling
today.
