IFR with a VFR GPS
"Bob Gardner" writes: Tell them. Just as is the case with icing certification, the controllers are not into law enforcement. Tell them you have a GPS and you will get all of the benefits. .... and as with flying in icing with substandard equipment, you will face all the risks in case something goes wrong. - FChE |

What are the risks of flying IFR with a VFR GPS? What happens when these VFR GPS's drop reception of all but one or two satellites?

Is it a problem if they don't? If the pilot were using the unit for primary navigation in IMC and the unit did not warn the pilot of too few satellites to be able to calculate position, would that be a problem? -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

"Peter R." wrote in message ... Why? Because the properties of a "problem" are not present. Do you disagree? If so, why? |

Because the properties of a "problem" are not present. snip Primary navigation (the VFR GPS) is no longer reliable, the aircraft is IMC, and the pilot is unaware that the unit is no longer reliable. Those are not properties of a problem? -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Those are not properties of a problem? I don't think so. If the aircraft drifts off course the controller will nudge it back and the pilot will then be aware that the unit is no longer reliable. No problem. |
