re gps

Couldn't agree with you more. The 90B is primitive but for enroute works great. With simulator practice and understanding you can do GPS approaches just fine. A 295 gives you backup and situational awareness for 1200 dollars. In fact the VNAV function of the 295 blows away the 530... figure that one out!
I don't do circling approaches and I haven't shot many gps approaches but when coupled to the 525 they blow away any VOR approach hands down for precision and safety. The standardization of the T approach makes it really simple.
Maybe I am from the old school when an ADF needle and wet compass was a luxury. I haven't used a VOR in a year. Having accurate databases and flying to intersections makes life a lot easier. Now where was that paper chart?
