No more of this descending in the NDB hold on partial panel with a

heading, timed descents to an altitude, or combining the two to make a
timed 180 degree turn to a specific heading and altitude and you are
expected to reach the heading and altitude at the same time.

GPS just takes all the fun out of those exercises:-))

Finally, a good reason to get a GPS.

All I can say, particularly after having spent about two hours on the
above and similar exercises... AMEN!
