Hmm, not to be difficult, but if you come to the attention of the FAA
after shooting an approach using a GPS where the plate says DME
REQUIRED

I have DME. It's my terminal/enroute GPS. What seems to be the
problem? A plate that says "DME Required" doesn't actually mean you
need a DME box. Just like the plate that says "ADF Required" doesn't
mean you have to have an ADF, the GPS substitutes for both quite nicely.
Do you have a FSDO that says otherwise?


and the FSDO gets involved, it will be very entertaining to
listen to you lecture the inspector that you can simply create your own
approaches...

I'm not creating my own approaches. I'm simply following the published
plate. Nowhere does it say that an approach labeled "DME Required" must
be flown with an actual DME.
