They don't even teach it in UPT anymore? What's Check Section got to say about that? No more students going crazy trying to perfect fix-to-fix NAV problems in a 38.

Gotta repost this....hehe, I got a forum violation for posting a link with too many bad words in it and the original was deeeee-leted. 
As you can guess, lots of IPs had minor aneurysms when radio NAVAID fix-to-fixes were dropped from the syllabus (myself included).
It happened, however, concurrently with a revision to 11-217 that also completely erased any reference the technique/procedure (which also happened to correspond with a ton of over changes to more closely align USAF instrument procedures to FAA procedures), and added in some verbiage about fix-to-fixes being done RNAV only.
So, despite everyone going all Hitler-video over it (this is the part I got a violation for -- google "Hitler fix-to-fix" if you want to go back in time and see a 2009 internet meme), since it was no longer even in the big book o' USAF instrument flying techniques/procedures, it was hard to justify UPT IPs teaching it.
Just too bad...yet another time-tested method of student harassment lost.
