I have a DME question regarding the Garmin 1000 (G1000H).
The NAV1 and NAV2 needles on the PFD will give you a distance to the selected NAV source (Airport, VOR, ILS, etc). To my understanding this is a GPS distance.
The G1000 in the aircraft does not have the separate DME softkey, so that tells me I don't have the DME equipment on board.
When giving a 61.57(d) as a CFII, do I have to make the pilot do a DME/ARC (IFR PTS)?
The note in the PTS says that if the aircraft is not equipped with DME I don't have to do the approach.
In other words, does the distance I see on the PFD substitute DME?
Can I legally use it that way?
Anyone have any sources?
Thanks!
