Can anyone point me to data regarding the proportions of the US GA
IFR-capable fleet that have:
A Both an ADF and an approach-approved GPS

Trust those intruments Trust those instruments by
A Lieberman
Suffice it to say, the subject line says it all.
Had to get the oil changed in my plane today, and I got a "bonus" of 300
foot ceilings and a full day off of work, so I'd figure I'd knock out a few

I am fortunate enough to spend some time in my Uncle's new 2006 T182
with the Nav III G1000. Amazing stuff. But am spending time "head
down". Can't seem to find Victor airways. Lots of amazing stuff - XM
weather, echo tops, Metars/TAFs etc. But 530 had the V airways! As

(eg VOR, NDB, intersection, airport, etc.) and press the "INFO" button. I

were out of the west, and I had planned on doing the GPS 27 approach, which
was in my Jepp book and also printed out from the FAA chart.

Garmin 530 question by
Paul Tomblin
Our club just got a 530 for one of our planes, and so before I fly it I'm
spending a lot of time with Garmin's simulator. So one of the flights I
do a lot is here (KROC) to Ottawa (CYOW) and back.
