Two sentences from this notice: "It appears airmen are failing to use
basic VFR navigation and map reading skills. Instead, in most circumstances, they are using GPS devices to navigate to and from Las Vegas, NV.". I've only flown the Beaty/Tonopah VFR corridor once. It took about 15 seconds with the charts to learn that all I needed to do to avoid this restricted airspace was to stay west of highway 95. There was no need to have a GPS, loran, VOR, or ADF to avoid penetrating the multiple restricted airspaces north of Nellis. -- Marty Shapiro Silicon Rallye Inc. (remove SPAMNOT to email me) I got that notice also, too many people hit "direct" on the GPS and then never look at a chart. Not all handheld GPS will have the airspace, especially if it is a cheap "not intended for aviation" handheld. BT |
