Default GNS 430W vs GNS 480

Does the 430 WAAS unit fly the entry procedure?


If the sim for the GNS430W is to be believed, yes it will, assuming of
course it is coupled with an appropriate AP.

I am really interested to hear how many of us have actually been asked to
fly a Holding pattern by ATC in the recent past ?

The holding pattern that the Garmin 400/500 have are flown a lot and
without ATC request. They are the course-reversal hold (known as "HIL"
or hold-in-lieu-of procedure turn) and the missed approach holding pattern.

These holds are far more prevelant today as RNAV procedures increase in
ron-radar areas.
