Compasses and dead reckoning still work. Remember that
little blurb in the instrument rules 61.65, Navigation, including dead reckoning appropriate to IFR. Procedure turns, and NORDO are just some of the DR situations, GPS and or VOR OTS are others. "Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... | I was flying to Reno last week and there was a GPS outage part of the way | there. I had a couple guys with me and they just looked at me when the MX20 | and the 296 went blank. I just tuned in to the next VOR and kept going 10 | minutes later they came back. | | Interesting. I've had a similar experience where I lost one (or two) | GPS's (for reasons unknown) -- but I've never lost *both* of them. | | I'm not saying VORs don't have a place anymore. I'm just surprised to | hear primary students flying around solely by reference to them. It | seems rather quaint, with so many students training in glass | cockpits... | -- | Jay Honeck | Iowa City, IA | Pathfinder N56993 | www.AlexisParkInn.com | "Your Aviation Destination" | |
