IFR with a VFR GPS
"Peter R." wrote in message ... Again, I agree that hitting the tower was not due to the navigation device used. Then why did you bring this accident into the discussion? |

"John Theune" wrote in message news:qP5df.115$9T4.18@trnddc04... If he had asked for the Tuna Fish approach to his destination I would agree. He asked for the GPS approach and the only GPS on board his aircraft was the hand held. Which appears worked just fine, as the aircraft impacted a tower that was virtually on the FAC centerline. |

Irrelevant. The presence of a VFR GPS does not preclude the use of any other navigational systems. What other navigational system is used once the aircraft is cleared for a GPS approach? Given that the aircraft struck a tower that was very nearly on the FAC centerline it appears that navigating the approach course was not a problem. The presence of the GPS may be irrelevant to the cause of the accident, but it is completely relevant to my original point that a pilot may be tempted to use a VFR GPS as the sole means of navigation, legal or otherwise. -- 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 =---- |

That was idiocy. |
