I'll agree that there are parts of the country that darned-near require
an IR. I'm happy to report that (a) I don't live in one, and (b) I
don't fly there very often, either.

So the fact is that you *can't* reliably see America from the air with
just a PPC. Just part of it.

Well, I'd put the percentage at over 95%, if you exclude Alaska.
