Why do you keep asking this question? Surely it is not to acquire
information, or to dispense any. Rather, you seem to be pressing the
point that "use" and "rely on" are not the same.


When someone says that use of a handheld GPS for IFR enroute navigation in
US controlled airspace is either hazardous or illegal I ask them to identify
the hazard or the law that is being violated. I do that so that I may know
what they think the hazard to be or what law they believe is being violated.
If they respond I explain the error in their thinking and sometimes
information is dispersed that way.
