There might be restrictions for GPS approaches, but I would think that
flying non-GPS approaches with the 430 should be fine since you're not
really using the database.


What about using it for locating missed approach holding points (a-la
NDB or DME substitution)? Since the database is out of date, you
can't use it for approaches, even non-GPS.

Yes.. you can.

If you can fly a plain ILS, LOC or VOR approach, you can use a 430
without a current database. You can still confirm cross radials and such
without an IFR GPS.
