head. UPS was on the phone before the smoke break ended. WAAS alone
could
not add any new services to existing GPS.

So are you saying that the CNX-80 is approved or will be approved to fly
approaches which the Garmin 530 never will be able to fly?

Garmin has already announced plans to upgrade the 530. Garmin has also
announced plans to make the 530 a fully TAWS compliant display, as well. I
know some repair stations that are just barely getting by on TAWS
installations and they hope Garmin takes a long time to make the release.

And are you saying in fact that the Garmin 530 will never be approved to
fly
VNAV, LPV, PV, or other approaches with lower minimums than current GPS
approaches?

No. I am writing that Garmin is now going to have to play catch up.
