FSDO enforcement- GPS before effective date - which date to put in Aircraft Log for Part 43?
FWIW, you can put the new card in the KLN-94 before the effective date.
The old data will be used until the effective date. If you are using it at 0000 UTC on the effective date (6pm CST) it will give you a message, telling you to power off and back on to use the new data. Which, IMO, stinks. I was flying a night, IFR flight over Washington, DC, airspace, being guided by GPS and the autopilot. Before you point it out: Yes, I got caught with my pants down. I didn't have a current VOR tuned as a backup. Well, in the case I was referring to, my KLN04 did not force me to reboot at that moment, it just was letting me know that I would need to reboot eventually to use the new cycle's data. It continued tracking and using the old data just fine in the mean time. Did yours actually force you to reboot at that moment? What kind of GPS is it? Cheers, John |

Oops, I meant KLN94, and I see elsewhere in the thread that yours is
the same. John |

Yes, the only option I recall was to reboot. Have there been software updates since then that may have addressed this? I wouldn't know since it has been about 2 1/2 years since I flew with that brand and model GPS. -- Peter |

I wouldn't know since it has been about 2 1/2 years since I flew with that brand and model GPS. Yes, there has been a major software upgrade a year or two ago. It appears they have eliminated that particular "gotcha" (of requiring an immediate reboot when the new cycle becomes effective). Cheers, John |
