![]() I have started another thread to get a consensus of opinion about what navigation equipment I will be allowed to use on my instrument check ride. Recently I installed in the Archer a complete new Garmin left stack including the GNS530. I kept one of the old KX170B's [repositioned] and its glideslope indicator so that I have dual ILS & VOR systems. I also kept the Flybuddy Loran which I intend to replace with a slide in GPS replacement to act as another backup. The ADF went to a new home via eBay. The aircraft has a Century IIB AP which is now interfaced with a new GDC31 roll steering unit to the 530. So just like magic, the bird now flies any programmed route that is active in the 530 including handling horizontal guidance for the missed approach. Now after flying the aircraft for quite a few IFR training flight plans I am reasonably sharp in using the new equipment in IMC and flying with it "in the system". I am pretty ok using the Century IIB to fly coupled approaches with the KX170B and coupled VOR radial intercepts. So with or without the roll steering equipment I am reasonably comfortable using any or all of the equipment available. Now comes my question, what will I be allowed to use on my instrument checkride ? I am assuming that the examiner will want the 530 switched off at some stage for at least one ILS approach, while using the KX170B + GS Indicator ? Thanks Roy |
