Hi Folk,
Finally I am out of phase one, so my new goal is to try to get an IFR Certification here in Chile, but this is not going to be easy.
First Chilean FAA (DGAC) doesn't want experimental planes flying IFR, I am trying to explain that flying under IFR rules(I am not saying IMC) is more safe than VFR, you are separate from other traffic for example. Also I will comply with single engine regulations here in Chile that only allow you to cross layer and not to fly IMC on route or fly at night.
Second to get an IFR certification here in Chile you need at least, a VOR, ADF, DME and two VHF. I want to have a modern panel and want to have a Garmin 430w and SL30, that is two VHF, two VOR/ILS and one IFR aprove GPS, but they said how I am going to fly ADF aproaches and how I am going to messure distance. They said they know the GPS technology is advance a lot and they have tested, but they are not sure is very realible.
DGAC always try to follow FAA regulation but they are very slow making new changes, so if you could help me to where FAA said that you could use GPS instead DME or ADF would be great.
Cheers,
