GPS Question

"Chuck" wrote in message
. ..
In A&P school several years ago, we were told that GPS was not certified
for
use in aircraft, although they do make a good *aid*.

Has the FAA changed it's stance on the use of GPS? Has GPS become
certified
to use in navigation in aircraft?


Thanks...

Chuck

You know what absolutely blows me away, and I can't wait until it becomes
the new standard?
With WAAS technology, you can fly a GPS approach into an airport that has NO
localizer, NO glideslope, etc.
The GPS will guide you in within 1 meter horizontally and vertically.
I'm only VFR, so some of my terminology may be off, but you get the idea.
How cool is that?

Seems to me that airports could save money because they wouldn't need to
maintain any radio navigation equipment anymore...
