The IFR addon from GRT looks attractive, but I fear I cannot take a check ride in it. Has anyone talked to some examiners?
The grt page also says that they are not compatible with certain Garmin IFR equipment due to a proprietary Garmin protocol. Is this also the case for the gps175? What does this mean? Can it at least present a pseudo GS and CDI coming from the 175?
My needs are for soft IFR. I need to get the ticket, but will then be happy enough to set personal minimums above LNAV non-precision approaches Simply put, I am not arriving or departing into clouds lower than 1000? AGL.
Is an old 300xl compatible and sufficient for these needs? Is the GRT IFR legal for non-precision approaches? If I get a 175, do I lose all EFIS IFR support? Any other ideas for cost-efficient soft IFR in and out?
