Default GPS vs ADF

Michael wrote:
Upon starting your climbing turn to the left, do the same direct-to you
did before (you should not need to dial in RALLY again, so probably
just direct-to and enter or the equivalent - two keystrokes - will be
required) and fly direct to RALLY. Make the teardrop entry as normal,
and use the LOC for guidance on the inbound leg.

There are other ways to do this. Many other ways. IFR GPS is very
flexible and powerful. With a 430, you can get a diagram of the
approach to come up, get guidance to the IAF, lines to follow for your
PT, and automatic switching to LOC mode when established inbound as
well as automatic sequencing for the missed approach with a visual
depiction of the hold and prompting for the correct entry. But the
basic method I gave you will always work with any GPS, and will seem
natural to someone who is used to flying steam gauges.



That was exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you for taking the
time to post it.
