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." http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/877-full.html#195316
