You can use GPS in lieu of DME if the named fix appears in the GPS database or if the datum upon which the fix is based is in the GPS database. In other words, if you were flying a VOR-DME approach without DME aboard, the GPS can substitute if the required fixes are named and included in the GPS database or if the VOR upon which the approach is based can be found in the GPS database. Read the document, it is really good. http://www.aopa.org/asf/publications/sa01.pdf Mike Salzman LNCE 75% Fairfield, CA arrow54t@yahoo.com --- "Mike S.
