Irrelevant. The presence of a VFR GPS does not preclude the use of any other navigational systems. What other navigational system is used once the aircraft is cleared for a GPS approach? 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. 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. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

One difference I have not seen mentioned is how the VFR GPS appears in
the scan and relates to the other instruments. I know having a permanently mounted, cable free installation where everything is always where it's supposed to be makes a difference in the usability of an instrument. This is one reason why I don't think we will ever see IFR certified handhelds. The installation is part of the certification. |
