Question GNSS on conventional procedures

Hello,

I have a question concerning the use of GNSS (GNS430, G1000, etc.) on procedures other than BRNAV/GNSS. In other words, conventional procedures.

I know this topic is subject to approval of the installed equipment. However my questions are:

1) If i'm correct a GNSS can be certified to allow you to fly a:

SID
STAR
Initial approach
Final approach NPA
GNSS/GPS & RNAV/PRNAV procedures

But does this has to be mentioned or are some included in the "approved for IFR" (like for example flying an SID, cant find an example of a POH stating that the use of GNSS is allowed for an SID)

(keep in mind, conventional procedures, Europe reg., and of course with navaids tuned for backup)


--and--

2) Since BRNAV is required above FL095 in Europe at what point do you switch over from conventional navigation to the GNSS equipment and back when your equipment is not approved for certain phases of the flight?


I've been trying to find some documentation concerning the limitations of the installed GPS/GNSS. But since these limitations are airplane specific these are hard to come by. So please feel free to quote your POH


Thanks in advance!
