I may be a little confused but here is my
concern.
I fly a lot of IFR in my Mooney
Ovation. My Mooney has a dual Garmin 430 panel that has
not been upgraded to WAAS. I file /G and do GPS approaches, but
obviously am not able to do the new LPV approaches without the WAAS
upgrade. I also navigate using my GPS rather than VORs (although in my
prior plane I used VORs)
I understood that the FreeFlight would not
allow me to do LPV approaches but thought that I could do standard GPS
approaches and navigate using GPS rather than VORs. I would not like to
take a step back to having to navigate using VORs and giving up the ability to
file /G and do GPS approaches. I will have a Garmin SL-30 Nav/Com in my
plane.
Is the FreeFlight "SIL" just another CYA or attempt
to get us to upgrade to the 1201 (or Chelton) or will I need to revert to
using VORs? Am I missing something?

I remember
now!
I think, if you have VOR on your radio, like a Garmin
SL-30 Nav/Com. you can be TSO-145a
compliant for
IFR.
From what I have heard, the 1101 and 1201 are the same
unit performance wise. The 1201 just cost more because it is certified. (But
it may have only been certified to be used in a particular
plane)?
