There must be loads of challenges with basic IR training these days. They do have to train NDBs all the time they exist anywhere in the world, but the time will come when there aren’t any conveniently located ones.
You can do the NDB training in the FNPT II.
But there are more and more airports, that have almost no non-RNAV SID any more
Yeah – that’s another old issue, but everybody has a GPS qualified for enroute IFR at least, I would think…
PRNAV is a bigger one but AFAIK not a single airport enforces PRNAV. LSZH (Zurich) doesn’t put it in writing but LKPR (Prague) pretty well does

must be flyable by receiving BIG and DET.
You’d need Dover too, or how else would you navigate from ACORN to D31DVR?
And AFAIK if the SID/STAR isn’t labelled RNAV, it not only must be flyable with classical nav, but you actually have to constantly verify your position against classical nav raw data…
Unless a SID/STAR is labelled “RNAV” it “must” be flyable using the navaids which are referenced in the diagrams…
Sure. But there are more and more airports, that have almost no non-RNAV SID any more. Look at LSZH for example: most SIDs there only offer you a choice between RNAV and P-RNAV.
The G1000 cannot display both a GPS track and a VOR-based CDI so, as Jason said, if you also want VOR or NDB data on the display would will need to select them as bearing pointers.
Yes, of course, sorry. You are right for the CDI. There are no glass cockpits with more CDIs, would be too confusing anyway
OK; my EHSI can show a CDI and an RMI pointer also, with the two driven from any two sources picked from all inputs that are provided to the instrument.
However a CDI presentation (a left-right deviation bar) is possible only from GPS VOR or LOC. It is not possible from an NDB – in any system I know of. With an NDB you can have only an RMI pointer.
I think a CDI is also possible from LORAN and TACAN but I have no way of testing those
You can only show one CDI the others are RMI needles.
Sure, it’s possible…
The Avidyne Entegra PFD can show at the same time
3 different nav sources (gps or vor, dme, ils etc), one green cdi, one blue arrow, one only bearing, distance…. and at the same time you can display the route IN THE PFD and the track
