Great video. In the 80's I flew a Cessna 182RG with this type of RNAV. We had two radios and I used the system on all my long flights. This was long before GPS. I even had Jeppesen Rnav enroute charts with lines on north east south and west with distance marks for each ten miles. I think the radios may have been the KNS80. It was awesome to see the demonstration.
We have had many issues in Finland with our border comrades jamming GPS leading to planes being diverted since the VORs have been decomissioned by our government leaving only the DME component on. Fortunately the VOR infrastructure is only disabled so they can bring it back on soon and ILS has been working all the time. I still wonder why they cannot do DME arc RNAV approach to such airports as EFJO with ATR 72 they are using.
The depth but also accessibility of your content astounds me every time. Cool piece of tech, will use that on my next approach!

South of Tallahassee, KTLH, there us a waypoint HEVVN. You can get assigned direct to heaven.
