    Pros

    Finally clarified the blizzard of new terminology that came with the new GPS/RNAV approaches. Good review of general switchology and procedures. Particularly valuable for flying dinosaurs who grew up with ADF and then VOR/ILS.

    Cons

    Maybe a little redundant, flying the same approach again and again with different GPS receivers, but effectively drove the points home.

    General Comments

    Well worth it for any pilot who finds himself shaking his head over all the new terminology.
