![]() ![]() If you know of any additional sources that would help too. PLEASE add your opinions/advice/discussion/answers/things I got wrong in the comments.

I'm not saying go out and fly hard IMC all day with an expired GPS. I'm not saying you should not update your databases. I'm not saying there is 0 risk to using an expired database.
