Where do people get their IFR 'training' these days?

That's not necessarily a fair criticism.
For those of us who have been flying since the 70's, we still think =

refer to airspace as TCA's, TRSA's and ARSA's. So we still remember =
RNAV
as VOR/DME, while LORAN and GPS are essentially global navigation
systems (although, technically, that's still another, different form
altogether).

I;ve been flying since the late 1950s and I adjust. TCA, and ARSAs =

quite alien to me these days. Then again TRSAs don't because we still =

those.

I think the criticism is quite justified.

Me too, Sammy.
I've been flying since the middle fifties, and I've adjusted pretty =
well, too.
GPS approaches are a far cry from 4-course Range orientations,
and the Range Approaches that I learned to do without an ADF.
(Follow the edge of a leg into the cone of silence, then turn to xxx=BA =
and descend.)
Oooh, those were fun!
And why do I remember 3023.5 kHz? (Except they were kc back then.)
