Using a Portable GPS for Valley Flying -- TAA Thinking

Matt..... Ur an assface and deaf... He said its a nice gadget and as long as the battery is recharged for every flight and it isnt longer then 5 hours then there is nothing wrong u idiot

ATTENTION:

Don't fly with a handheld battery gps under overcast conditions in unknown area!

The charts are not garanteed and using the gps simulator during flight to select a valley where visability could be better is not how to plan a flight.

This is absolutely NOT professional!!

This is like a whole list of things that you absolutely should NOT do when flying in the mountains. Relying on a GPS, staring at a pretty screen when you should be looking out the window, trying to use a GPS to compensate for poor visibility and unpredictable weather in the mountains, avoiding IFR because it's inconvenient … the list goes on and on. Pretty scary. I'm glad I'm just watching the video and not actually in the aircraft.

nice gps, but without it, wouldnt be risky to fly in moutains with ovc almost at the tops of them?!

i got a question about flyin'!

do you have to tell these airports before hand that you plan on landing there or do you just ask to land when you get in the area? what do you do if they are busy?

I guess I can see the benefit of the hi-cost, hi-res terrain in the 560. boo.

The Garmin Aera is my favorite GPS and especially with XM radio and weather!
