For example - inbound to AYQ the GPWS fails - not allowed to do RNAV approach.
Say what?? Please explain?

Can still do NDB overlay approach using GPS in lieu of NDB, so you are technically still doing an NDB approach even without an ADF fitted to the aircraft.
Not sure I understand why a GPWS failure would preclude a published RNAV approach but still allow an overlay NDB?
