Actually, if your VOR appears to be in the process of going TU, it's
*more* important that you have accurate times recorded. You're
likely to be reduced to pure pilotage soon, and if you don't know
how long ago you passed your last waypoint, that's going to be more
difficult (and perhaps impossible).

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the
people he gives it to.

Sorry, that was just a quick and dirty example. Lets then assume this
pilot's plane has GPS equipped.

And, you think that makes matters different somehow?

Look. Let's make it simpler. Your arguments amount to saying that the
knowledge test information is optional. That's a preposterous notion, and
an indication that you really should spend more time studying than arguing
here.

The point isn't to score well, it's to master the information critical to
flying an aircraft. Guess what happens when you do that? You'll score well
on the test, too. And, if you don't master the critical information, it's
not likely that you'll turn out to be much of a pilot, much less a career
pilot.

So, just make up your mind as to where you want to be.
