The reality is that, despite what some people may think, a 430 is not
required equipment in an airplane these days, even if you fly IFR.
The 430 today is what the Loran was when I started flying. If you
didn't have an in-panel Loran receiver in your panel in the early
'90s, you didn't have a desireable aircraft.
Now, of course, they are all boat anchors (as the 430 will be in ten
years) -- but back then, they were EVERYTHING.
