How many pilots today practice partial panel and can fly it when required? Dunno. We sure do. Never hear it discussed in any avation groups any more as failure rate of gyro's is very small.. Couldn't prove the latter by me (2 per 1000 hrs). Then there's the dry vacuum pump (1 per 1000 hrs). Not meaningful as statistics of course. How many GA pilots today could make even a NDB approach partial panel much less a ILS or GPS approach? I'm confused here -- the implication seems to be that you feel an NDB approach would be easier partial-panel than an ILS or GPS approach. If I'm interpreting you correctly, why? Thanks, Sydney
