I know IO540 rubs some of you up the wrong way because he is a bit modern, but does that mean the rest of us have to put up with people just having a go at him in the midst of what could be a useful or interesting discussion?

DFC:

If the pilot of a US aircraft wants to fly GPS approach procedures then the very simple answer is that there are numerous such procedures available in the USA.
Does it make you feel smug to come out with such crap?

JW411:

I have to take you to task. How can you fly a GPS approach to minimums when you remain at 2000 ft? I cannot believe that you really meant to say that.
Where did he or anyone else mention flying to minimums? He explained why he wants to do it. Do you just make stuff up out of spite or was it a mistake?

IO540, why not just fly the NDB approach, using your ADF, but have the GPS approach active on your GPS? I've not looked at the plate but surely the final approach leg is similar enough for this to meet your needs?
