Flying a DME Arc with a non WAAS GNS530
I am sure someone in this group can answer this question. When using a Garmin 530, without WAAS, will it output Roll Steering commands when flying a DME Arc ? Thanks -- Roy Piper Archer N5804F |

No, it does CDI steering, but that is good enough for a DME arc. It does a pretty decent job. Keep in mind the very minim arc is 7.0 miles, unlike PT or holding turns (and RF legs to come). With the 530W and a roll steering autopilot the DME arc will be roll-steering, which will be spot on. |

Or, do you think it is, because if flys the DME arc nicely? |

Flying a DME Arc with a non WAAS GNS530
It outputs steering commands on DME arcs so long as
you are in GPS mode. If it's an arc to an ILS, the commands disappear when V-LOC gets selected. If it's an arc to a vor course, it is alive the whole time. If one doesn't have GPSS, a regular autopilot will still do a credible job coupling if the course pointer is kept on the direct track heading. Bill Hale, BPPP instructor.
