In the US many Arrivals and Departures are now "overlay" procedures where FMS waypoints overlie fixed navaids. In airplane with the proper equipment and certification can legally fly the overlay procedure even when the navaid is out of service.

However, some carriers have authorization to fly FMS arrivals, but not FMS/GPS final approaches (navaid still required).
