It doesn't matter if the plane is equipped with the almighty hand of God, if
it goes belly up and it is your sole electronic navigation source, you're
reduced to pilotage.

I think a bit more book-time would serve you well...

Actually, if your VOR appears to be in the process of going TU, it's
*more* important
that you have accurate times recorded. You're likely to be reduced to
pure pilotage
soon, and if you don't know how long ago you passed your last waypoint,
that's going
to be more difficult (and perhaps impossible).

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people
he gives it to.

Sorry, that was just a quick and dirty example. Lets then assume this
pilot's plane has GPS equipped.
