How so?

It seems to be designed around the assumption that everyone has a
moving-map GPS to show the boundaries of the various sectors. Anyone
who doesn't have this is going to have a devil of a time figuring out
whether or not he's drifting into Class B. Since GA aircraft often
don't have a moving-map GPS, they are being strongly encouraged to
stay away by the difficulty inherent in finding the sector boundaries
using just navaids, radials, landmarks, etc.

Oh, if only there were some way to present that information in a way
that didn't need electronics. Perhaps some kind of large piece of
paper that contained both a visual depiction of the airspace *and*
landmarks on the ground.


Like a NACO VFR Terminal Area Chart?
