[...] (As for navigating with the 430 tango uniform - there's ATC vectors & the backup handheld GPS.) If you're planning to fly IFR in IMC up here in Canada, be aware that the regulations require sufficient navigational equipment on board so that, should you suffer the failure of any one, you can still make an instrument approach at a suitable alternative. (Is there no similar rule in the States?) This appears to rule out having only a single integrated navigational widget installed in the cockpit. (I don't believe a handheld GPS qualifies as a loophole.) - FChE |
