Has anyone tested the IFD as a position source for the FreeFlight UAT's? I ask because I recently acquired one that, while it does include built in gps receiver, I would like to not add another antenna.

I understand it is not approved at this time, but if the IFD will function, I would do that until the 2020 deadline in hopes it may become approved. If it doesn't become approved we'll simply add the needed antenna at that time. Display will be on the Aspen and I'm unconcerned if there is no display on the IFD.

A GNS series can be used and the IFD is compatible, right? But in reality- ?????
