I think the way you get caught is to fly an IFR GPS approach and then
get ramp checked where the enforcement official finds only VFR GPS
onboard. According to my CFI, that happened at least once at an
airport he knows where the FAA basically camped out during bad
weather and checked every aircraft as it exited the active runway.
Enroute, on the other hand, if you file direct you can fly it any way
you want to, including pilotage, and who's to know whether you used
your Nav radios or your dangerously unapproved GPS. Throw in a VOR
in each ARTCC sector for good measure, and I think there's no way to know.

There are cops checking for speeders and know who they
are. How does the FAA know who is using non certified equipment for
flying vor radials ? And are they flying these radials with the gps
just for situational awareness while using they're nav for primary,
just as all the company's that sell these non cerified units
reccomend ? If they are flying the non cert gps as primary how
would these rule breakers be sought out ? The only way I can think
of is by ntsb reports stating that as a cause. If there are no
reports stating this how would the FAA get thier info ? Bill I'm
not trying to raise an argument, but I don't see how these dreaded
rebel "rule breakers", whoever they are, can be blamed for the FAA
coming up with new rules against portable gps's. Please explain I am at a loss.
