Want to guess how many plug in VOR locations as waypoints in their GPS? ....so they can switch to the VOR instantly if the GPS goes TU? I'm not sure that it's so that they can switch instantly to the VOR. In fact, I doubt that they even bother to tune the VOR. GPS will take you to a VOR very nicely... And at least as accurately as the real thing, which makes it at least as great a risk for midair collisions. And it's easier to do a DIRECT-TO to a VOR than to tune it and follow it with instruments, so now the pilots reaching VORs with great accuracy may not be as bright as their predecessors. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
