And if you think it's reasonable to say a pilot is lacking skills if
he can't operate a Garmin 430, then I'll suggest you're incompetent
because you can't do celestial navigation

If you have a Garmin 430 in your panel, you had better be able to use it,
while you are taking your private checkride, or BFR, or you won't pass,
right?

Skills are skills, and using a GPS to help you find your place on the
charts, or find the nearest airport, or where the special area's boundaries
are today, are *today's* skills, like it or not.
