Okay, I don't know where to look and I'm not terribly comfortable with the answer my avionics shop gave me.
I have an experimental. In 2006, I had a GNS-430 installed. Had it IFR certified with test flight, manual supplement, 337, the whole 9-yards by a professional shop in FL that does a lot of work on experimentals. Just recently had the 430 pulled and "converted" (what ever that means) to a 430W. This was done by another solid shop, but they don't do much / any work with experimentals. Now that it is in the plane, since I had the very same 430 certified before, is it still IFR certified? Do I need to do any kind of special testing to use vertical guidance?
Just to be clear, I'm not IFR certified and no one else is flying the plane. I'd like to start working towards my certificate again and don't really know what to do about the GPS. Any help would be appreciated, including references.
Thanks,
Jeff
