That’s how I learnt to fly and I love it! Nowadays everyone is tapping away on iPads and iPhones while flying. Not sure how they’d cope without them, but at the very least a basic knowledge of map reading and timekeeping never does any harm.
That was how I was taught to fly VFR back in the day. D.R., A watch, ruler, paper chart, pencil, E6B flight computer, protractor. 1 in 60 rule etc. Maybe a Garmin 90 if you were lucky. Although my instructor frowned upon GPS as it was cheating. Plus the battery might go flat or something. You had to learn these basic skills to navigate.
What a great instructor!
Great flight Joey & Crew!
