The left side was completely severed. The previous owner shot VOR approaches on a regular basis. Hmmm. He also had a Garmin III mounted on the console. I wonder which he used??

The Facet Pumps look exactly the same, with an identical part number, but are listed as "automotive" fuel pumps and "not recommended for aviation use". I compared my old one to the one's Spruce has yesterday at Corona--they look identical.

They actually work now. Garmin 300, KX155 w/GS, Garmin 327 xpdr, Century I. It is an interesting instrument platform. I'm going to get the servo excersizer from Fletchair when I get home.

There's a little more to it than that. GPS signals are extremely low power, and proper shielding is important. This is mainly because panel-mount GPS are located so close to the oscillators in other panel-mount equipment. It's still not enough to warrant a field approval - conscientious installation by a competent shop should do. But there have been more than enough nightmare stories about troublesome GPS installations. Agreed about the bureaucracy, though. - GPS approach can't be approved unless the whole approach is programmed. That is, pilot can't sequence himself though the waypoints; the computer must do it. - Then, the same TSO forbids the program to sequence into the missed approach proc. As you say, go figure. Do we need any more workload at the time of a missed approach?
