IFR use of handheld GPS
Authorization to conduct any GPS operation under IFR requires that:
a) GPS navigation equipment used must be FAA-approved and the installation must be done in accordance with FAA requirements i) Approval for the use of the GPS for IFR operations, and any limitations, will be found in the airplane's POH (also called the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual) and the airplane's logbook ii) VFR and hand-held GPS systems are not authorized for IFR navigation, for instrument approaches, or as a principle instrument flight references. During IFR operations, they may be considered only an aid to situational awareness. This seems fairly clear to me..... Shh...don't let the facts get in the way of ones mindset. 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. Ron Lee |
