What is happening to the FAA? The new Class B airspace at KPHX drives another

Huh? Why, explain.
Because it depends so much on moving-map navigation systems, rather than just
VORs and radials or landmarks. If you don't have a fancy glass display that
shows exactly where you are, you can easily bust the Class B without realizing
it. In previous configurations, you could use PXR to keep you out of trouble
through a large part of the airspace as long as you had a VOR receiver and
DME. Now you can't. Given the cost of advanced moving-map systems, many GA
aircraft aren't going to have them, and this new configuration seems to be a
deliberate attempt to keep GA aircraft in this category out of the airspace.
I think you are right if all above's 'you' will be replaced by
'Mxsmanic'
