....the poor man's EGPWS = moving map display....this is from another post
"moving map displays , as far as I am concerned , are the BEST aid to SITUATIONAL AWARENESS in IMC that I have ever come across.
If you are in the soup and the world is going crazy and you get confused.....switch your GPS to moving map display and ..hey presto.....not only do you know where you are but where you are pointing...of course it all depends on your GPS. Don't get the idea that I am trying to advertise Garmin but that is the box I have used most with a moving map display, specifically the 400 series. Not only that but they give you a free simulator to get up to speed on...unlike other manufacturers."
The VERY poor man's moving map display is the weather radar. We spend 95 % of our flight time over water. When we do return to land , particularly for the ILS , after everything is set up , we cross reference the radar picture that we should see which delineates the shape of our particular stretch of coastline. We do that twice. Once prior to turning onto the LLZ and again once established.
yes...I will get that list up
