Shutting down NDBs
On a related note, if NDBs were to be decommissioned, would GPS be allowed to be used in-lieu of NDBs?
I am in a situation where I am unable to do the SID out of YPJT due to not having an ADF, and have been told that GPS was in the pipeline to be approved in lieu of, then subsequently told that was not going to happen.
Given what I have heard/read, GPS is probably more accurate than NDB anyway?
I'd looked into getting an ADF a few years ago and was advised not to bother as NDBs were going the way of the dodo, that was back then...
Same with getting an HF - same mob suggested an installed satphone was the way of the future...
