It says that one approach must be foown without the primary electronic
flight instruments if they are installed. The GPS is a navigation
system, not a flight instrument... snip snip

Any agreement/disagreement with this from any examiners out there?

I guess I don't fully understand what the controversy is here. A prospective
instrument pilot ought to be able to pass his or her checkride without the
assistance of a moving map.


What "ought to be" is not the question.

The student is required only to pass a practical test as defined by
the PTS. Examiners are not allowed to create their own PTS by asking
applicants to perform tasks according to what he thinks an app;icant
"out to be able" to do.
