should be discarded - yet, but implying that GPS is a NAV system for
wimps, or that an approach GPS is not useful in real-world IFR flying is
ridiculous.


I don't think anyone said that. As for me, I teach in a full-motion flight
simulator with not one but three IFR GPS units -- no question I see the
value of GPS.

That said, an IFR approach GPS is simply economically impractical for a
Cessna 152. There also is absolutely no reason why one cannot get an IFR
rating in an airplane with conventional navigational equipment and learn to
use an IFR GPS for approaches at anothe time.

Thanks.
