Noel please, you're such a politician. And we all know what is happening to politicians these days the non politician leads the pack.

Fact of the matter about GPS is this, use at your discretion. The owners of theses sats are not us as in you and me. And ultimately their responsibility to you if there is a "glitch" is zero. YOU as a pilot are supposed to be trained to use a map, VOR etc, and navigate without relying on a GPS or "glass". If you rely on a gps for positioning, to get your home, to navigate in general, to "track" you or let someone know your landout spot and can't use a map or properly you should NOT be in the air period.

I would like to see you guys/gals leave the GPS garbage at home and use a sectional to navigate. Can you actually do it? Do you even carry a sectional with you? Not in a tablet I am talking paper sectional and no I don't care about the tree its killing. Don't you think you would be a better pilot to be able to toss the gps (if you wanted to) and be able to run with a sectional? I do think so and I think the reliance on some of this technology is absolutely the problem today. The gps and spots are fantastic tools that you don't need to have. Do they make some tasks easier but that might be some of the problem. Everyone is so into the new stuff, the latest toys that they never have there heads outside the airplane and actually are paying "proper" attention to just flying the airplane.
