Me too.
I think I would have a tough time with my SA if I were counting on the airplane for a 'to-do' list. Makes the mind wander too much. Or at least mine.
I mean, with the nav equipment aboard and the charts, I always have a mental picture of where I am. If it weren't for the HSI/RMI and a chart, I'd really be in a spot. It makes me think. As a matter of fact, I always have to be thinking.
About the next fix, the next turn, the next turn-lead, the next frequency, the next heading, the next wind correction, on and on and on.
But that's what makes it fun for me.
