I don't remember the exact verbiage of the regulation, but you have to
have appropriate radios for the navigation signals being used. Meaning, if you don't have an IFR approved GPS, you don't have appropriate equipment to use for navigation using GPS. You would have to either have a VOR based R-NAV system, or file direct via VORs, depending on your altitude and the type of VORs.

There are a number of ways of navigating direct to a fix, using an HSI/RMI and DME , a TACAN, or a VOR and DME. In fact, any one who carries an E6-B in his shirt pocket could go direct to a fix using the above reference navigation instruments. The technique is found in the USAF instrument flight manual and has been taught there for many years. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

Whoo hoo, here we go again! The short answer is you can fly direct to your
destination IFR using dead reckoning or pilotage from ATC. As you go, use your handheld GPS to monitor the accuracy of your your progress. Nothing says you have to use a radio to fly IFR. The requirement is a performance standard, not an equipment standard. You are to stay on the cleared route. How you do it is not regulated. You could navigate with a ham sandwich and no one would care as long as you stayed on your route. Just be sure to file "/H".

*** And on the 430/530 as other folks have mentioned. But I understand that some serious upgrades are coming up for these boxes this year. Reading the proposed price tags suggests to me: "New CPU board". Where can one find information on these [pending] upgrades? - Andrew |
