Steven,
Have things changed? I see a lot of yoke mounted GPSs that are
most assuredly being used for IFR enroute. I realize your discussions
with the FSDOs took place in late '99, so I'm wondering what if anything
has changed -- or are there just a lot of folks stretching the rules?


I don't believe anything has changed. Any fixture meant to hold a handheld
unit that is permanently mounted to the aircraft would be considered
installed equipment and be subject to Part 23, but the GPS itself would not
be.
