  check with other navigation techniques would identify this failure and prevent a serious deviation. In many receivers, an updatable database is used for navigation fixes, airports, and instrument procedures. These databases must be maintained to the current update ... operation, but no such requirement exists for VFR use. However, in many cases, the database drives a moving map display that indicates Special Use Airspace and the various classes of airspace in addition to other operational information.

An updatable GPS database that supports the appropriate operations (e.g., en route, terminal, and instrument approaches) is required when operating under IFR. The aircraft GPS navigation ... database contains WPs from the geographic areas where GPS navigation has been approved for IFR operations. The pilot selects the desired WPs from the database and may add user-defined WPs for the flight. Equipment approved in accordance with…
