NavCom Options - Where to read-up?

[Ravioli]

Other than access to EFIS systems, you still have to have a "certified" IFR GPS in the airplane if you want to file /g and use GPS approaches. Which means you're still buying a GTN650, etc. And there aren't too many "experimental" transponders or Nav/Coms; most of the experimental guys are using standard avionics from suppliers like Garmin, King, etc. The only real "advantage" in experimental avionics comes in autopilots, EFIS and engine monitoring.

So sayeth the owner of WHAT experimental? Skyview and G3x have remote ADSB transponders and GPS's available.

Uhh position source certified for ADS-B yes but IFR certified allowing filing /G?

Transponders, Ok. But even Dynon takes the position that you have to have a TSO'd GPS to be legal for /g.

Looks like I am wrong. I can't find any evidence to the contrary.

The most recent stuff is from 2013 and you can track using data from the certified unit using Skyview, but they don't have certified nav source.

That doesn't push you all the way to 650, mind you, but what's another 8k?

But if you want LPV, you're more or less pushed all the way to a 430W (or a 480, which still sell for a decent premium).
