I have started cross country flying and have learned filing out a navigation log, using the whiz wheel, etc. I find it incredibly enjoyable being able to navigate VFR with dead reckoning, timing from point to point, realizing when you've gone off course, correcting, etc. It makes the flight time fly by (pun intended) but I wonder how many pilots continue to do this after they get their license?
I heard two pilots talking at my airport and one was saying to the other how glad he was that he doesn't have to do all that and can just use the GPS direct function.
Just curious on what the pulse is out there on this topic.
