Is this really the way new instrument
students are being taught these days? Is the VOR already dead in the classroom? Let's see... I passed my Private Pilot in Jan, and got my instrument rating a couple weeks ago. GPS? not much. Got my PPL in a Tomahawk with one navcom. I can switch freqs and dial quickly to approximate where I am. IFR? Give me a plane with 2 VORs and "I'm golden". Gimme an ADF and a (real, not GPS) DME, and I'm quite happy. Now I just need to get confident enough to go fly in the soup alone....  --Don Don Byrer Electronics Technician / Friendly but Sarcastic Pilot FAA Airways Facilites/Tech Ops, RADAR/Data/Comm @ CLE Amateur Radio KJ5KB Instrument Pilot Commercial Student PP-ASEL 30 Jan 2005 "-IA" 25 Mar 2005
