Maybe it's a good web design, but from a pilot's point of
view, some statements are questionable :
Quote:
On weekends there is a task briefing covering the weather, airspace, and
three tasks of varying difficulty. Pilots choose which one they want to
fly, program it into their flight computers (so they don't get lost) and
set off.
I don't agree with the idea that, without a flight computer in which
I program my task, I would be lost. As an instructor, I merely teach how
to avoid getting lost, without any flight computer. Of course I
also explain how to use flight computers and GPS, when available, but
a pilot must be able to maintain situation awareness without them.
