So aside from being snarky, are you able to explain why you can do what you do with regard to the OP’s question?
Same here. Can I have an RMI for the NDB approach?
I’ll play devil’s advocate…..how many of you keep a copy of a ‘phone book’ with the ‘yellow pages’ to look up phone number?
Sooner or later all that stuff will got the way of abacus …
Again, what would make the Foreflight option unacceptable?
An "older" pilot, who was 20 years old when LF Rangers were introduced would be about 120 years old today. Those who were 20 when VORs were introduced would be about 95.
But is it required beyond the checkride?
I think you are right on both accounts ! There is a shift and we are losing foundational knowledge. I spent time and money learning and practicing things like vor, ADF approaches, that soon disappeared to be replaced by "just follow the magenta line". As long as the electrons flow, it's basically the same sectional, the airport facilities director (chart sup) etc. and are all in one place. and is much more convenient. I once lost a sectional (paper type) through the storm window of a sundowner (instantly sucked out), trying to unfold it. However if the electrons stop flowing for whatever reason, you better have and know how to use the legacy equipment and legacy publications. I too was reluctant to the EFB stuff until i started using and got used to the flight apps, but since i started with a flight case full of facilities director, tca and sectionals etc, I should be in better shape than the new pilots who focus on the glass panel and pay little attention to the whiz wheel etc, if the electrical power fails. By the way what is the inverted "C" mean ?, I know i can check the back panel of the chart (and i will, when i figure out how to bring it up in foreflight!). I am with you, these things should still be taught, or you end up a "child of the magenta line" .
You carry all of those in your airplane?
Just an observation; I don't think forums, internet etc, were around when lighted airways and radio navigation became a thing. Also it's not quite accurate to say "PPL", PPC is more accurate these days (probably always was).
There certainly needs to be a level of competency in reading charts on a flight review, which seems to be the focus of the original question. How detailed that knowledge needs to be is in the judgement of the CFI conducting the review.
The focus of the original question seems to be whether a pilot needs to be able to get information from a sectional chart or is a different presentation of the same information acceptable?
I think @midlifeflyer gave the best direct comparison…do you need to use government-published approach charts, or is Jeppesen acceptable?
ok, so once again, why do you think it is necessary to be able to read and interpret something other than Foreflight when Foreflight provides the same information?
Maybe he is worried about when AI data centers take over the electricity grid and us peons aren't allowed to use electricity anymore. How is the lowly PPL supposed to know what his frequency is if he can't read the charts he scrounged out of his grandfather's flight bag and read by the light of a candle?
Well, that certainly lowers MY opinion of you. But I suppose before long you’re going to start playing that whole “childbirth” card to distract us from the facts.
<— one of the few, and proud of it. (But not one of “The Few, The Proud…”)
If it helps, I have some experience milking goats, just not cows...and I've helped shear sheep before. In a few years or a decade, maybe, we can get our homestead with an airstrip and rectify such disappointments. 
And I think that’s where the OP got himself crossed up. He seems to think that “understanding” means being able to read sectional charts, METARs, TAFs, and Chart Supplements, not understanding the same information from a different provider.
I wish they (and land lines) still existed. Many times years ago I’d see a flock of pheasants, or a deer and that evening look at the plat book (that also used to come every year and either get the phone number directly from that or a name and address of the owner and look it up in the phone book and get permission to hunt it. Or have a farm machine break down and remember where I saw an old one sitting and look them up to see if they would sell (or lend until one could be shipped) a part. Nowadays unless you have them in your “contacts” good luck trying to do that.I’ll play devil’s advocate…..how many of you keep a copy of a ‘phone book’ with the ‘yellow pages’ to look up phone number?
