Default IFR use of handheld GPS

Part 95 is what? Regulatory? I agree.

Part 95 talks about altitudes, not tracking airways. Part 95 talks about
altitudes in Alaska. Not the lower 48.

Part 95 is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Steven is correct. There is no regulation or set of regulations that require
certified GPS for IFR flight.

I have a certified GPS. I want the RAIM capability. However, I would not
hestitate to use a handheld to track a direct route - as long as I could
back it up with other ground-based fixes. I even back up my certified GPS
with ground-based fixes.

Steven is correct. Keep in mind that the AIM is not regulatory. Plus, the
fact that Alaska has special rules does not mean anything for the other
49 states.

But Part 95 is.
