Good Morning All,
Reading the reference submitted it could be construed as saying that a
current data card must be in the set.
For some installations, that would be true.
However, many installations have an approved Airplane Flight Manual
Supplement which states that the pilot must assure that the data to be used is
current and that the data that is used must be taken from an onboard datacard.
If the pilot uses a another method to assure that the data is current, the
approach can be legally conducted. Obviously, the easiest way to determine
currency is to have a current data card, but, depending on just how the
individual FMS is written, it MAY be legal to conduct the approach with an out of
date card.
Happy Skies,

Here's a question asked by an AOPA member who contacted our aviation
services staff through the AOPA Pilot Information Center. Test your knowledge.
Question: What makes an aircraft IFR certified?
Answer: An aircraft is considered IFR certified based on its installed
equipment. As long as there is no statement prohibiting IFR flight on the type
certificate data sheet or in the operating limitations of the aircraft, IFR
flight is permitted provided it has the required operable equipment listed
in 14 CFR 91.205(d), flight manual supplements, and all appropriate
inspections, maintenance requirements, and checks have been complied with. The
instrument cockpit check (ICC) is a good systematic check of all radios and
navigation equipment that ensures proper operation of equipment prior to flight.
If you plan on using an IFR-certified GPS for approaches, remember to
ensure the database is current. For additional information on these and other
inspections, see AOPA Online.
