Folks, take notice of the absurd lengths the true believers have to go to
justify their faith.




This rather Clintonian argument ("to be used" vs "I wish to use")
opens the door to kooky things like flying an ILS with a handheld GPS.
("Sure I have one on board, but the FARs don't say I have to USE it
..."), or ignoring monitoring instruments ("my engine oil temp may
have been at redline, but I don't have to LOOK at it").


How would it open that door? Why would anyone attempt to fly an ILS with a
GPS of any kind instead of the LOC and GS receivers? I've already pointed
out that I'm in full compliance with FAR 91.205, I have navigational
equipment appropriate to all the ground facilities that may be used.



A 91.13 citation would fit perfectly, should something go wrong.


Actually, it wouldn't fit at all. FAR 91.13 applies to operation of an
aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or
property of another.
