Its like looking at one of those pictures that can look like a beautiful lady or an old one. As for what they can do to make things better. Make a GPS overlay for all approaches so that when commencing an ILS approach the IF, FAF, and MAP are in the gps for reference and also displayed on the EFIS. The Garmin 530 does this but the KLN90 just has GNSS overlays and not all approaches. Cheers, FD Hey David,
