ANO (CAP393, free from the CAA website) Section 1, Schedule 5 will give you the formal answer for the UK, last time I looked Eurocontrol gave easy access to all the national rules/regs for the French (& onwards) sides.

Thank you for the reply.
I have had a quick look in ANO (CAP393, free from the CAA website), but couldn't find anything on ADF requirements.
I have had a look at the "Eurocontrol" website and have been unable to find any thing on ADF requirements, flying in controlled airspace.

It's been a while since I've had to look for the French/other European requirements I'm afraid, last trip was with a G1000 with a fair bit of certified nav kit!

The aircraft I plan to fly to France in is either a DA40 or DA42, which has a G1000.
The aircraft has the correct number of altimeters and HSI/ CDI to fly airways in. But the DA40 does not have a ADF!!! The aerodrome which I will fly out from in the UK does have a NDB situated onsite.

In the UK you most definitely need an ADF still even though your approach may not be a non precision one. In Germany you only need it for the obvious (a NPA).

IFR Flying in Europe
Search for key word ADF. The referenced Eurocontrol documents no longer exist at those locations though.
