IFR with a VFR GPS

Perhaps, but the reason for my reference to the accident in this thread
was
to support my point that the possibility exists for instrument-rated
pilots
to use a VFR GPS as the only means of navigation. It is unquestionable
that this accident pilot did.


That's unquestionable only if the VFR GPS was the only nav gear aboard the
airplane. I think that unlikely. Since the aircraft struck a tower which
was only slightly off the FAC there's no reason to believe a navigational
error contributed to this accident.

The pilot was cleared to fly a GPS approach in an aircraft without an IFR
certified GPS. How else is he going to navigate the approach course?

Irrelevant. The presence of a VFR GPS does not preclude the use of any
other navigational systems. Given that the aircraft struck a tower that was
very nearly on the FAC centerline it appears that navigating the approach
course was not a problem.

What other navigational system is used once the aircraft is cleared for a
GPS approach?

The presence of the GPS may be irrelevant to the cause of the accident, but
it is completely relevant to my original point that a pilot may be tempted
to use a VFR GPS as the sole means of navigation, legal or otherwise.

Anything the pilot has available and wishes to use.

That was idiocy.

Yep, your lack of an intelligent response was already noted. Now you are
repeating yourself.

We all have our roles. You keep demonstrating idiocy, I'll keep pointing it
out.
