How about keeping a Nav-Aid Rule in your flight bag. Your GPS will one day stop working. Then DR where the NAR is indispensable.
Visual Navigation
Share
Most of us private pilots now use a GPS and autopilot and have become cockpit managers. We have lost the skill of hand flying. No electronic aids.
Remember the days of map, clock, compass and plotter . Just visual navigation.
The Nav-Aid Rule should be in every pilots flight bag.
A must for every flight bag, Backstop when that GPS fails.
It would seem from my recent discussions with American pilots they no longer navigate by visual reference but rely on their GPS. DR is a mystery to them? Not so in Australia, can only be used as a back-up. Wonder what they do when 'the lights go out' even an IFR flight needs two distinct navigation aids. I assume they screem for help from ATC.
I am still waiting for a VFR pilot to show how they do track corrections and how long it takes. Then try the Nav-Aid Rule as a comparison.
Not a word from our American associates?
