On: Cheap GPS jammers are filling the world with navigation dead zones

A lot of those planes still exist and have not gotten panel upgrades, so IMO you still should learn how to navigate purely via only visual references and radio navigation. I believe you are still required to know how to use them to pass your private pilot check ride, too, but I may be wrong.

Thankfully, they are not needed to pass a PPL check-ride.

Creating a track on a 1:500k map and fly it is incredibly complicated when you have to do a ton of other things inside the plane too.
