GPS is a wonderful tool for instrument flying, but sometimes it can be tricky. Is my approach loaded? Is it activated? This is something you really need to know!

First-generation approach-certified GPS units required a specific action on the part of the pilot to place them into approach mode. That action, along with some of the buttons that used to be on IFR-certified GPS units, are missing from the latest generation devices. What replaced them? It's easy for pilots to experience "mode confusion" regarding the approach status of the GPS. Is the approach loaded? Is it active? When and where do I check?

In this seminar, SCFC’s in-house instrument expert Brian Eliot will cover the procedures an IFR pilot needs to take to safely manage a GPS approach. If you are an IFR pilot and plan to use GPS approaches, join us for this informative seminar.
