Uh-huh. A big part of safe flying is learning the procedures and accepting
them, instead of always trying to be Maverick with home-baked shortcuts. A lot
of people have worked really hard to build a network of airways with
guaranteed navigation performance and safety--why the insistence on rolling
your own?


Actually Victor airways were developed to separate the bug smashers from
everyone else and to keep them from controlled airspace.

There is nothing intrinsic about them that provides "guaranteed navigation
performance and safety" other than the accuracy of VOR's and with the
invention of GPS they are becoming obsolete.
