Already when I fly IFR (filed /U) controllers give me instructions ("proceed direct foobar") that require GPS Well, they don't really. I bet you can do that with the M1 LORAN. Or you could if it didn't come with a placard limiting it to VFR use only. A handheld GPS will not come with such a placard, and there's no rule that says you can't use it for enroute IFR (anyone who says otherwise is welcome to quote chapter and verse from the approriate regulation - NOT an advisory circular or AIM). Try 91.205 (d) (2) for starters: d) Instrument flight rules. For IFR flight, the following instruments and equipment are required: (2) Two-way radio communications system and navigational equipment appropriate to the ground facilities to be used. Think non-radar operations, where the controller isn't going to play "Frick and Frack" direct-to games with you. Failure to comply with 91.205 can rapidly lead to 91.3, and the FAA attorneys win every time. |
