So which aerodromes do you think are "notified for the purpose of this sub-paragraph"? I can't find a single such notification in the AIP
No, nor can I

I may have confused the situation here. There sems to be a difference between cases where there is a requirement to have a VOR/ILS fitted and the general position where if you use a VOR/ILS it must be FM immune.

Bookworm: I am afraid that "Restricted Approval Category LA Class 3" does not help as it simply clarifies the general requirement for FM immune kit by allowing you to placard non FM immune as "VFR only" rather than replacing it. It does not provide an exemption from the general requirement.

The whole thing is absurd, since you can legally be forced, if you stick to the letter of the law, to do NDB/DME approaches with all the imprecision that involves whilst you have what is in reality a perfectly good VOR/ILS on board. I know which one I'd use
