What he is thinking of doing, is not telling anyone that his other stuff crapped out, and go ahead shooting a GPS approach to high minimums, and if the weather does not let him decide early to go visual, go missed. The handheld doesn't have RAIM. Shooting the GPS approach with the handheld is an invitation to disaster.

In 2200 hours of flying, I've never had a RAIM failure on my IFR GPS.
Trying to shoot an approach with a handheld, the problem is the unit being in your scan. If it were permanently mounted and you were familiar with it, it could work. I never do GPS approaches much anyway. I take the ILS if I can.
