for a few hundred miles with only a compass. Now when the only approach you
have is an NDB and the indicator don't work hahahaha!!! Trust me you don't
want to be there it's not fun but,


I trust you. All I said is that there are all the backup instrument
needed to keep the plane flying. Now if your mission *relies* on
electronic navigation aids, then it's a good idea to have such a backup
handy. But not all missions rely on them, so I don't see the need to add
them by default.
