Default Navigation flight planning during training

GPS - "nearest, enter, enter" is of course a good thing to know.

Instructor turns off GPS -- "your GPS failed!"

Student reaches into pocket and pulls out portable battery operated GPS....

(variation on the old flashlight joke).

--

but I think the old fashioned way is a good thing. I learned to fly 20
years ago, I still fly with a thumb on my position on a sectional on my lap
at all times, GPS or not.
