I have just received the latest Flight Safety Australia - and read it from cover to cover, as I generally do.
Is it just me, or is the article "A Dark Side to GPS?" poorly written, overly complicated and quite confusing?
I have done all the required GNSS (RNAV) training, and did my initial endorsement with a King GPS. I have made it my business to know the GNS430 in the Fork-tailed Dr Killer pretty well. I am current, and regularly fly GPS approaches.
It just doesn't seem as complex or confusing as this article would have you believe.
Maybe I am missing something and would be interested to hear the views of others.
How many GA pilots out there regularly jump from one aircraft to another with different GPS systems installed and is this a significant safety issue?
