So what do you do in an emergency if you need an approach from the box?

That's what paper is for. You do carry current approach plates and
enroute charts, don't you?


So I pull out the chart for the GPS approach, and manually dial in all the five
letter fixes I'd be using? (Whoever designed this twist and look to cycle
through the alphabet should be given his own room in Hell). In an emergency
I'd rather take the entire approach out of the box, even if it's old (dialing
it in by hand won't guarantee fresh data if the database is old)
