That was my understanding, but I have not been current on instruments in almost 30 years. A lot has changed since those days!

Next thing you know they’ll have someway to find out where you are without having to tune two VOR’s and do the math in your head to figure out what radials are crossing. Isn’t it a wonderful world!

The already do with GPS displays.

You can even have the terrain displayed under your map.

You can make equivalent of ILS approaches to airports that have no radio guidance.

I haven’t flown for quite a while either. I flew a T210 which had 5 hrs fuel. I always said I had 4 hrs for the flight plan. I never planned legs further than 4 hrs.

I was never worried about running out of fuel either.

That is the most avoidable accident there is.
