AEA, FAA SAY GPS UNITS OK FOR IFR
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/877-full.html#195316)
Recent reports () raising concerns about the FAA's approval -- or lack
of approval -- of many GPS units for instrument flight have raised
questions that still are being sorted out. The Aircraft Electronics
Association says the confusion, arising from recently issued FAA
Advisory Circular 90-100A, stems from the FAA's deletion of a
paragraph in an update of the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM).
The AEA said in a statement
(http://archives.subscribermail.com/msg/a819b80a032b4c8ab1a69e100c75da22.htm
)
on Wednesday that FAA officials had told them "this oversight should
be corrected in the next 10 days." Alison Duquette, a spokeswoman for
the FAA, told AVweb on Wednesday, "The FAA is working with the
manufacturing community and AOPA to resolve the issues. The bottom
line is that the previous allowances still apply, so the operators can
still fly using whatever GPS system they have."
