Garmin 496 Training
Not very likely. Since none of those items can be used in a handheld GPS ( legally, discounting touch screen ) why would Garmin put them in? They most certainly can be used legally!! Just not as PRIMARY navigation guidance. Why did Garmin put the FAF to the MAP guidance of an IFR approach in their handheld GPS's? It's just as illegal to use this information as primary guidance under an IFR flight plan as it would be to use the IAF to the FAF and to use any holding depictions or course reversals. My take is that they know people use the handhelds in IFR conditions under an IFR flight plan as *backup* situational awareness while on the approach. So if they're going to give you right-left guidance, why not up-down guidance for backup situational awareness? Same goes for the MEA's Kobra
