Default GNS430W: Parallel offset course feature

Mike Adams wrote:


Given that you have to fly the airway, it's much easier to call it up out of the database and have the GPS
automatically insert all the course changes and intersections. Without the database, you're forced to get
out the chart and find all the significant waypoints where a course change occurs, and put them in
manually, or else fly the VOR raw data as you said. Either one is a lot of work by comparison.

Mike


Anyone who flies IFR without the chart out isn't in complete command of
the flight in any case
