REFLECTOR: Garmin 430/530 WAAS Simulator

[Ron Brown]

The new 400/500 WAAS simulator is at Garmin now.  Neat - a 
glide slope signal is generated for the CDI/HSI as soon as you hit the FAF for 
GPS approaches.

Incidentally, the instrument rating is highly effective at making you a 
better pilot - however it does not enable you to do approaches down to 
minimums.  We have had an alarming bunch of crashes around the Carolinas of 
folks trying to do instrument approaches when the ceiling was 300' and 
visibility of a mile or less.  Two Cirrus's, two C182's and a twin Cessna 
made the unwise decision to fly ILS approaches to destinations where the 
weather was absolutely lousy.  At least 14 souls lost in less than three 
months around here. Absolutely appalling!!!!
