Default IFR with a VFR GPS

Perhaps, but the reason for my reference to the accident in this thread was
to support my point that the possibility exists for instrument-rated pilots
to use a VFR GPS as the only means of navigation. It is unquestionable
that this accident pilot did.


Perhaps? Perhaps the VFR GPS shoved the yoke forward, causing him to
bust the altitude?
