..Nice to have all that fancy equipment onboard, isn´t it ..??..However, be prepared to navigate the old way, just in case all that fails..But you already knew this..!!

..BTW disregard JB..For some reason, he spends too much time on this board, confronting others with his advice and experiences..As anybody reading these posts know by now..A guy with all this knowledge, could really help the younger generation with his expertise and time spent in aviation..Unfortunately, he has chosen a different path..

..Good luck !!..

Fly safe,

It’s just maneuvers unless I’m really getting old.

You must be getting old. There’s a navigation portion just like on the private. Have to hit two to three check points and then with a diversion.

Just took my commercial and was allowed to use my iPad with ForeFlight, but I had to disable the airplane on the map. And I could not use the GPS in the plane since of course it has an airplane on it and showing your position. So it was just using the iPad in leiu of a paper chart using pilotage as if I had a paper chart. But I’m sure it varies with different DPEs.

He did allow me to use the two finger method on ForeFlight to determine my distance and direction and time to the alternate though.
