KW, you are showing a bit of evidence you are a young pilot trained in the age of GPS, INS, Autopilot/autothrottle! Think back to your training and your cross-countrys- you went to airfields with no navaids quite happily. Then you started flying and flew everywhere with ILS, VOR etc, on INS equipped aeroplanes. But you must be ready to lose all those aids and still get the task done! So check your company regulations. Somewhere en route there is a radio aid you can check your nav against. Knowledge of safety heights and basic navigation, and don't 'push' it! Lack of navaids does not rule it out as a destination! It's you that must be flexible.
