It is the way it is because it is part of the TSO.
Mike MU-2 "Wyatt Emmerich" wrote in message ... But the GPS shouldn't suggest that you fly into a tower or terrain. Which is what it does now. As soon as you pass the MAP point, the SUSP button starts to blink, begging the pilot to press it and fly to the hold. What the SUSP should do is blink with the additional message, "no turn until xxxx altitude." Come one. How difficult is that to program? Given Garmin's dominant position as an IFR GPS, it's not too much to expect. "Lynne" wrote in message ups.com... I see your point clearly. However, it appears to me that you want the GPS to do a bit too much for you. Remember, it is still your responsibility as the pilot of the aircraft to fly the procedure as published. Do you suppose if the GPS told you everything you need to know about the approach to fly it safely you'd be less reliant on the approach plate? I do, and I am not certain that's a good thing. Lynne |
