Default Is your IFR GPS still legal for use?

some things to consider:

1) AC 90-100A only cancels 90-100. It doesn't cancel
AC 20-130A, for example, or any of the AIM.

2) The AC is for RNAV routes. This does not conflict with the
AIM paragraph on using an appropriately certified GPS installation
in lieu of a VOR, DME, or ADF for non-RNAV routes.

3) Historically, the FAA does not update advisory circulars that also
de-certify the airworthiness of existing equipment, including the
authorization to use it. If they did, the various alphabet soups and
aviation companies would NOT participate in developing new
standards, etc.
