Garmin 396/496 Legal for IFR

Note: This was an April Fools joke and the web site is gone.

(Unless you are a pilot, you probably do not care about this.)

Finally! Honestly, I believed Garmin when I bought my GPSMAP 396 and it said “VFR Use Only.”

We get a present today: the ability to use our Garmin 396 and Garmin 496 units for IFR en route and approaches. http://www.garminapproach.com/ has all the details.

You can bet that I’ll be at the airport today trying this out!
