It has recently been reported (AOPA magazine) that the CAA are intending to drop the ADF requirement for flying IFR in CAS early 2008. If true, then good riddance to an old-fashioned, outdated, unnecessary and actually potentially dangerous instrument.
That's for enroute carriage.

Try finding an approach you can fly without an ADF. Without overlay approaches and/or GPS substitution for ADF/DME (both permitted in the US), you'll still need an ADF from a practical point of view in the UK.

Exactly right, IO540: my GPS converts an NDB approach into basically a VOR/DME one, with HSI presentation. So much simpler...

ADF

IO540:A very interesting distinction between "using" and "carrying"!! Does "carrying" also imply that it must actually be fixed in place and does it mean that it must actually be working? Can I just carry an old dead one in my aircraft?
