>Realize that some IFR GPS systems do not have localizers in their database.
In that case you could not use this GPS for the DME part of a LOC/DME approach unless the stepdown fixes were named intersections. > >-- >Richard Kaplan, CFII >rkaplan@umrpc.com >www.umrpc.com/p210 > Richard: Since the Tri-Pacer pilot was considering getting an additional Garmin 430 to replace the ADF/DME combo, he would be getting a duplicate of the current database in his first Garmin 430. I do not know of any LOC/DME procedure in the Garmin 430 database that does not have the named intersections or LOC/DME waypoint as part of the procedure. Older UPSAT products (GX50 and GX60 with software previous to 3.1) would not have those LOC/DME waypoints.
