....no, karl, that simply is not true and that's why i framed it the way
i have. it really relates to the totality of the systems and conditions
and not just the simple math. look at the responses that pilots are
giving.

can't you see the difference?

ever hear about how, if a pilot makes an air-traffic mistake the pilot
can die but that if an air traffic controller makes an air traffic
mistake...the pilot can die.

there is a qualitative difference between the thoughts of someone
reading a book and someone living it.

once you've heard the tape of a vfr into i.m.c. situation you'll know
what i'm talking about.

You'd do better by listening to MX on the subect of GPS. He has shown a
greater understanding of GPS than most of the pilots here.

what part of "pilots only" do you not understand? you have your thread
and your opinion has been heard. now go away. many real pilots will not
participate if you're in the thread and i'm really trying to talk to
them.

GPS is reliable for this type of issue, even without WAAS. Just don't
rely on it to determine your altitude.
