Scenario:
I have current a current plate for a GPS approach and I take all the numeric info from there; freqs, altitudes, etc.
I have a year-old database in a 430/480/530/G1000
I verify that the waypoint names on the plate match the ones in the GPS, possibly verify the leg distances, but do not check waypoint lat/long.
What practical (not legal) risk am I taking by flying the approach? The only one I can think of is that the lat/long of one or more waypoints is wrong. How big a risk is that? Any other risks?
