Dispatch to airport with the only navaid avail being u/s
hello....
is it allowd to dispatch to an airport that don't have ils...and the only approach available is vor dme for one rwy and the that vor on that day is u/s.
so is it allowed dispatching having in mind that the only approach avail at the arrival time is visual approach.
in my opinion it is not right.as i think that you need to have a beacon that you can calculate your TOD and to check your nav accuracy.
although some of the modern aircraft are high tech and gps equiped,would you trust ONLY your aircraft equipment and base your descent calculation on it.
and for the Fly By Wire guys...i think it is neccesary to have a vor/dme to check the nav accuracy if the GPS is NOT primary.
so in my opinion it is not go case.
what do you think guys.
