om... I am sorry if this offends anybody, however this sentence "It did give me a very good appreciation for GPS though... I wouldn't fly passengers in actual without it..." is quite concerning to me. I understand that each person has a different comfort level, but what is happening to the pilots of today when we are no longer comfortable flying passengers without the use of GPS? What happened to VOR and ADF skills? Maybe rather than not flying passengers without GPS, it would be a better idea of going to get some dual in VOR and ADF usage so you are comfortable flying with passengers without the use of GPS. Valid point. On my last CC I spent some time practicing my VOR navigation simply because once again I found myself losing what little 'touch' I had. Haven't done a VOR approach in awhile though. I don't have an ADF - only have book learning and with zero experience. I think the opposite applies in some cases - while a lot of people rely on GPSs, not everyone is proficient using the particular unit they are relying on. They seem both easier and more challenging if that's possible. |
