I got the info.

What the crew told you was about right.

That model, as delivered from Cessna, is not RNAV-1 compliant.

It requires a couple of hardware mods/additions to become RNAV-1. So,
none of the RNAV stuff at RIL was avaiable to them.

Not the best configuration to dispatch to RIL in weather conditions.


Un-freakin-believable. They build a $5M plane and don't even put a
decent GPS in it? Why would anyone buy it?

Thanks for looking into that for me.

From what I'm told, the airplane is fairly old from a GPS-equippage
standpoint.
