: I'm with you all the way... when I finish upgrading my panel at the end of
: this year, I will retain every form of navigation known to piston general
: aviation: VOR, KNS-80 VOR/DME RNAV, ILS, LDA, SDF, ADF, GPS, Loran

The more, the merrier. Redundancy is a good thing... and keeps you fresh on
everything if you play with it all all the time. It's frightening to think of all the
pilots out there (VFR or IFR) that get in, mount their hand-held color,
moving-map GPS-295 to the yoke, punch direct-to and never look at anything else until
they're on short final.

: There is a VOR/DME RNAV approach to CRW (Charleston, WV); I fly it
: occasionally with students in my airplane. When you fly the approach,
: admire the approach lighting system built on bridges through the mountains..
: quite an impressive engineering feat.

I've noticed that... maybe next time I fly up to Ohio to see family I'll shoot
the approach on the way through for the certification checkout.
