Opinion poll - VAL INS 422

[foka4]

Has anyone ever flown an approach in actual IFR with one of those VAL all-in-one CDI/Nav radios?

It doesn't seem like a string of LED lights would provide the same level of information as you get from flying the needles of a traditional CDI. But, they're out there, and they're certified, so they must work, right?

One thing you could try is fly a radial on the CDI mode in a KX-155. That's a pretty close simulation to what you're describing.
