A primary reason that handheld/VFR GPS units are not acceptable for VFR use is that they not not include an integrity capability. That is essential for IFR ops. This is like a religion with you people. It's strictly a matter faith that use of handheld GPS during IFR enroute flight in US controlled airspace is illegal and/or unsafe. It depends on what you're using it for. A handheld GPS and a ham sandwich are both useful objects, but using either one for the other's intended purpose can be dangerous. If not nutritious. Most handheld GPS's that I've seen are somewhat lacking in the nutrition department. |
