I am new to using the 430 for IFR and I am confused on a couple of points. Let's use the following approach as an example for the sake of discussion: http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0910/00142VD16R.PDF
Let's first assume that it is a simple aircraft equipped with one GNS430 linked to a CDI/glideslope, and one other independent VOR receiver (NAV2). The aircraft does not have an ADF or DME.
We want to fly the 9 DME arc to the IF (FETOL), and then fly the remainder of the approach inbound. Assuming this approach is in the GNS430 database as an overlay approach that can be flown entirely using the GPS (which I am pretty certain is the case, but I haven't checked this approach in the 430 database specifically), would I be correct in saying that the approach could be set up and flown legally with the 430 in either of two ways:
1) Put the localizer frequency 110.6 MHz (PAE) in the active VLOC with the 430 in CDI mode, while also setting up PAE as the active waypoint to receive DME information, or
2) Select and activate the VOR/DME RWY 16R approach as an overlay approach and fly it with the 430 set in GPS mode.
Is this correct? Does the first option that I listed satisfy acceptable substitution of DME with the GPS, as described in AIM 1-1-19(f)?
If I am way off on anything here, please let me know. This is all new to me!
