GPS 430 or 480?
Just looked at my approach plates. Very few have NDB approaches, some are VOR
DME, some require ADF. More and more now are GPS. Since I can use the GPS instead of DME for Some VOR approaches, is it not wise (prudent) to get an IFR certified GPS now? Should it be a Garmin 430 or a 480? The cost of the 480 is about 2 grand more, but I could use it for ILS approaches. My ADF is useless and I am contemplating a GPS in the place on the panel. I have never flown a GPS approach. My finances are low, but my life does have a high value. So says the MRS. You can email or put your thoughts and suggestion here. Hank 172 driver |
