"C J Campbell" wrote in message news  "Dan Thompson" wrote in message . com... This is an old horse and I almost hate to bring it up again, but are you aware you can legally accept direct FUBAR as a /U under IFR, and monitor your progress with a handheld GPS? It is a sad day that people now assume clearance direct to an intersection can only be complied with if you have some sort of RNAV. Makes me wonder how we ever did it in the '70s with only a VOR and a TACAN. Pray enlighten me to one thing- let's say I'm on V123 and cleared direct to FUBAR which is defined by the intersection of V456 and V789. Leaving out the legal-vs-practical debate, there is no way for me to navigate from my present position to FUBAR in a straight line sans RNAV. It's always been my understanding that "direct" means they assume you will in fact go straight there, not turn left 20 degrees, intercept V456, and then head to FUBAR. Am I missing something here? -cwk.
