Thanks for that IO540 and BackPacker it confirms what I was afraid off.

cessnapete, I agree from a practical standpoint ( I have dual 430's), however if you look in the UK ANO Schedule 5 the ADF is still listed. As far as the DME is concerned, I think the argument is that it does not measure slant range and therefore does not tick the box in the same list as above.

It's a costly and ugly addition but as far as I can see there is no way around it to be legal IFR anywhere in Europe.

I have looked at different options in front of the right seat (we are talking Cirrus) there is room for a KN-64 DME and a KR-87 ADF.

Or stuff the ADF because i think you could argue( say I with "a lot of confidence") that the Garmins 430 can do it and put a remote DME like a King KDI-572 indicator/KN-63 reciever wich would look much better and doesn't "destroy" my panel.

Any other suggestions are welcome,
