All you need is a set of paper charts that are up-to-date, unless otherwise stated in either the manual or POH. This was covered in one of the flying mags this past month. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com -Cory I've heard that recently myself. You can use an expired database GPS for all the VFR you want. But to use it for IFR, you first have to confirm the database information for any approach you'll use hasn't changed. Or you have to manually chage it in the database if it has changed. I don't have a reference on that, but the subject came up in a group of instructors and a couple of FAA inspectors. In any case, I know the FAA is allowing a local FBO to rent out and train in a plane with a LONG expired database. This Garmin 430 was definitely installed complaint with TSO C129, but the owner was too cheap to keep up the database updates. Chuck |
