Wow! I almost want to make sure the date isn't April 1.

What is the "RF" requirement?


Radius-to-fix leg. It has tighter requirements than arc-to-fix (AF)
legs, which is what Garmin (among others) uses for a DME arc.

The Garmin 400/500 series will be able to do RF legs, sooner or later.
The real issue is an autopilot or flight direct that is roll-steering
capable. The newer G/A autopilots, like the new Garmin autopilot, are
roll-steering capable.

Also a auto-slew HSI is nice, and the Sandell is about perfect.
