A better analogy would be requiring all new computer programmers to
learn assembler, which as far as I know they still do. You still have
to learn the basics before you can learn the modern stuff.


A pilot coming on now could very easily fly all his life and never see a

But don't throw out the old Loran just yet. They are talking about
mandating LORAN as the ground based backup for GPS and getting rid of
the VORs along with the NDBs. I liked NDBs as there is always
something around on which you can get a fix..
