Question: is ILS to an airfield nearby followed by 5-10nm of scud running safer than a home made approach flown using a proper approach certified GPS direct to the runway?
I'd rather take my chances shooting a homebrew approach with a non certified but extremley feature rich and flexible GPS like a Garmin 496 than I would with a cumbersome and purpose built certified unit like a 430. In fact I'd rather use an IPAD with SD than a 430.
