Approval Required/Authorized Use NOTE-1To determine equipment approvals and limitations, refer to the AFM, AFM supplements, or pilot guides. 2Requires verification of data for correctness if database is expired. 3Requires current database or verification that ... procedure has not been amended since the expiration of the database. 4VFR and hand-held GPS systems are not authorized for IFR navigation, instrument approaches, or as a primary instrument flight reference. During IFR operations they may be considered only…

systems onboard the aircraft. In general, these types of unintentional interference are localized and intermittent. Of greater and growing concern is the intentional and unauthorized interference of GPS signals by persons using “jammers” or “spoofers” to disrupt air navigation ... impacts of GPS jamming and/or spoofing, which include, but are not limited to: 1. Inability to use GPS for navigation. 2. Inability to use hybrid GPS inertial systems for navigation. 3. Loss of, or degraded, performance-based navigation (PBN) capability…

retaining a limited network of VORs, called the VOR MON, to provide a basic conventional navigation service for operators to use if GNSS becomes unavailable. During a GNSS disruption, the MON will enable aircraft to navigate through the affected area ... aircraft that are not equipped with DME/DME avionics. However, VFR aircraft may use the MON as desired. Aircraft equipped with DME/DME navigation systems would, in most cases, use DME/DME to continue flight using RNAV to their destination. However, these aircraft…

pilot, care must be exercised to ensure that system capabilities are not exceeded. Types of receivers used for GPS navigation under VFR are varied from a full IFR installation being used to support a VFR flight to a VFR only ... hand-held receiver. The limitations of each type of receiver installation or use must be understood by the pilot to avoid misusing navigation information. In all cases, VFR pilots should never rely solely on one system of navigation. GPS navigation…
