How to get distance to LOC with a Garmin430
Asked by: Matthew Beyer 3796 views Airspace, Flight Instructor, Instrument Rating
I use the G430 in lieu of DME (IFR approved GPS w/current database), but I cannot figure out how to get distance to a Localizer navaid. More specifically, an instrument approach that requires "DME" (and I will use G430), but the distances are based off of the localizer. Not sure how to get this distance since the navaid doesn't show up in the list of options in the G430 database. Specifically the ILS35 at KGXY wants DME off of I-DCI (the localizer). How can I get this in the G430 (the distances also don't show up if I program the ILS approach (for reference SA)). (I know I only need the DME if a LOC only approach, but I still have my question). Thanks
