Garmin 530 WAAS?

How are they going to provide outbound guidance in a hold, and make proper
allowance for wind, while allowing a standard rate turn to inbound?

Coupled procedure turns and holds? Why is WAAS an enabling factor for
that?

I don't read where he said WAAS is the enabling factor for track-guided
procedure turns or holding patterns.

With ordinary approach certified GPS.

So how does ordinary approach certified GPS do it? None of those I have
used do it.

I don't have any idea how they plan to do it. The previous posting is
the first I've heard of it.

I do know that the high-end stuff had done track-guidance holding
patterns for years, but there is no direct relationship to FAA patterns.
But, no one has ever picked the nit about the differences.

It wasn't able to do it without WAAS, now it is.

And, after the upgrade it will be able to do holding patterns the
Garmin-improved way, even with WAAS is not available.
