IFR use of handheld GPS
gregscheetah wrote: Since direct can only be given under radar control (IFR GPS or otherwise) .... I am not sure where everyone is getting this information. Maybe it is a 'rule' but I have often been given direct routes when out of ATC radar and, for a while, out of ATC communications. And I don't have a panel GPS. I use the handheld. But I always get a vector before hand, not for legality, but in case the GPS craps out I have some idea of what direction to fly. You're not direct, you're on a vector. If you are on a random route you're supposed to be in radar contact, some centers don't care. Salt Lake frequently allows aircraft to go direct for hundreds of miles without being in radar contact. |
