Given the recent changes in the regs, do us folks with certified Garmin

someone point me to that article please?

Tonight I filed and said /G for a Garmin 430 equipped a/c. The
FSS briefer said under new regulations it is a /I. I mentioned
the /R and he said that is only for heavies flying international
(I didn't look it up, I presume RNP x.x and dual FMS or some such).
During the flight one controller asked if I was GPS equipped too.
Confusing...

That does not seem to be in accord with

SUFFIX TABLE FOR FAA FLIGHT PLANS:
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, 2005

http://www.faa.gov/NTAP/NTAP05SEP29/gen05003.htm

/I: LORAN, VOR/DME, or INS, transponder with Mode C

/G: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), including GPS or WAAS,
with enroute and terminal capability.
