I don't disagree, Richard. I was just pointing out that it is (still) legal to do an instrument checkride without a GPS. I just wish the things weren't so expensive.
I got my instrument ticket back in the Era of Needles. My Cherokee had a King KX170B, a KX145 (worst radio ever made), and a T-12C ADF. My whole airplane cost $12000, now it would cost $10000 just for the GPS.
