My last check ride in an Aztec D found me on one engine, in an unusual attitude, wth no panel except a compass, vertical speed indicator, and an ADF. I was told to find my position and navigate to the closest airport with a suitable length runway.

Out came my stop watch, slide wheel, pencils, and paper charts.

Given a digital clock, how do you adjust your aiming point when your spotter says, “Six ring, seven o’clock”?

Good luck getting most of the population to functionally work an abacus.
