Mark, what is this “185 (nosewheel)” machine you write of?

Jim, it’s either a typo (C-182), or Mark’s been huffing typewriter ribbon fumes!

I just wish they’d add the capability to the GFC500 to be able to fly an ILS approach without the requirement of a GPS signal. It’s a little catch that can be easy to miss in their documentation.

Are there a lot of ILS approaches out there without an accompanying GPS signal ? I haven’t seen one but really haven’t been looking. It’s the airports without ILS that led me to sell my recent non-WAAS aircraft.

Not normally. But when GPS is unavailable, such as during scheduled outages—frequent here in the SW USA—ILS is a go-to backup. Except, apparently, for GFC 500 operators.
