but our equipment in GA and training make them unavailable.

I took the opportunity to consult

Looks like we'll never have this capability: dual FMS, dual autopilots, dual ADS, and IRU ... But then again, did we not debate no one will ever upgrade to glass...?

But, technically, is there an Equadorian air regulation that specifically forbids me from “flying the approach” while being towed behind a jet? ;-)

Yes, because the tether will swing you outside the RNP.

You can also add EGPWS too

Here is your solution!

in air "refueling" for gliders! 

fo course the tow vehicle has to be in a descent

That’s a cool video but isn’t the “zero emission” flight only true for one of those aircraft?

There is no such thing a zero emission anything.

True by themselves, but man can create them without emissions.

Ever compare the flight track of your plane following an analog VOR course…. Over a chart with straight lines …?

Then compare that to the flight track of your plane following the GPS course…

The standard width of Victor skyways is based on the accuracy of the analog system’s scalloped shapes…..

We sometimes have to switch between using the VOR at the beginning of the pair to the one at the end, near the half way point…. (As charted)

This is done because the plane will follow the scalloped shape outside the standard width of the Victor skyway….

Are we discussing the same thing?
