REFLECTOR: FW: GPS for IFR

[lawrence epstein]

I forgot, it must have an up to date database.

Btw: you can use any GPS (even a handheld with an old database) as an "additional source" of Nav. Info, as long as you have IFR approved Nav. equipment as your "primary source of navigation)

GPS must be TSO'ed for IFR enroute, approach +/or WAAS. The box itself must be an approved box and the installation must meet certain specs to use it IFR (eg; CNX 480 display has to be no more than 13.4" (I think that is the number) from the "centerline" (center in front of the pilot) or a remote annunciator has to be added in that space (for WAAS approaches).

My plane came with an Apollo GPS and I was told that it was not suitable for IFR.  Someone recently told me that any GPS can be made suitable for IFR.  If so, I'd like to know how as I'm working on my IFR ticket.
