Navaid outtage & SID
I was flying out of Zhengzhou, China last month and was told by my company not to accept the usual SID due to the NDB for the SID being out of service.
It seems to me that a 737-800 with a few GPS's and a nice FMC could probably do just fine without an NBD, but I'm uncertain where the info is to prove or disprove this.
Any suggestions?
