GPS instead of turn and bank
Danny,
I have been told that the heading
information from a GPS is good enough to do the function of a turn and bank
and allow emergency operations without having a visual horizon reference.
Aviation Consumer has tried flying only with reference to the instruments page
on a Garmin 296 and 496. That page emulates the standard six-pack derived from
GPS data. They say it worked. They also said the 5 Hz vs 1 Hz update rate of
the 496 improves the concept a lot.
