Yes, I'll add it in. It's an area that has been in the syllabus for some time and so we covered it in the notes, but, until recently, has not been tested so wasn't in any of our exams. This is actually the second time I've seen this question, it came up a few months ago as well, I should have acted sooner.

It's the first time I've seen the BRNAV question and I'm still a little uncertain about it. If they mean basic RNAV equipment - as in light aircraft RNAV equipment like the KNS80 - then it only uses VOR/DME. They might alternatively mean the RNP5 standard known as B-RNAV which is mandatory in ECAC member states on the ATS route network above FL95. This allows inputs from DME/DME, VOR/DME, INS or IRS, LORAN C and GPS but not NDB, which would make your answer correct.
