Hi Alan

I would therefore interpret this to mean that if you have not got NDB 
then you can't fly a GPS approach as your have no fall back.

This link is to he current Staverton GPS chart.  It states that missed 
approach procedure is only available with the NDB.

Glad to hear the NDB has gone for airways  I sold my twin four years ago 
and when we rebuilt the panel in 2001 you still needed a fan marker 
receiver and display!

Personally for any serious IFR work I want 2 or more of everything - and 
that includes engines.

Regards

Pete

as a result of the Hazard Analysis on the approach as well as a means to 'going
around' should minimums not be met.

in the UK, this was dropped a few years ago, however they are required to carry
equipment required to undertake the published missed approach procedure.

the LAA at the moment and I have no doubt the next step will be a technical
leaflet providing the necessary guidance in accordance with the ANO as and when
the LAA finalise the work with the CAA.

It certainly was the case at Staverton that you could fly down to limits
with a GPS but needed to use the ADF to go round the hold at 3,000 feet.

flying along with permit aircraft on airways without certified equipment
