You wrote; "In addition, if your flight requires an alternate, the alternate
must have an SIAP other than a GPS approach." A current and qualified
instrument pilot knows that the filed alternate need not have an SIAP of any
kind if weather reports and/or forecasts indicate the ceiling and visibility
will allow descent from the MIA, approach, and landing at the alternate
under basic VFR conditions, and would not have written that. Your ignorance
has betrayed you again.

Of course it does. All we're after is the regulation prohibiting use of a
non-certified GPS during IFR enroute flight. A hypothetical flight works
just as well as an actual flight for this purpose and is far cheaper.

Oh? How so? In what way is the use of a non-certified GPS during IFR
enroute flight careless or reckless? How would that use endanger the life
or property of another?
