Section 1-1-19-d of the AIM addresses the general requirements
for conducting any GPS operations under IFR. Section 1-1-19-d1a
explicitly states (and I quote):
"Visual flight rules (VFR) and hand-held GPS systems are not authorized
for IFR navigation, instrument approaches, or as a principal instrument
flight reference."
It appears that the Gleim written test prep materials I cited in my
previous
posting took much of their material from the AIM and not the AC. The
AIM,
however, also does cite AC 20-138.
Again, this seems fairly clear to me.
Faith is a mysterious thing.
Careful, Steven. If they determine that you are an infidel then they may
petition the Pope to excommunicate you.
