The US National Airspace System is based on NDB, VOR, and localizer. There
are no equipment suffixes for these because you're assumed to have them if
you're operating IFR, even though they are not explicitly required by
regulation.

I've noticed that! A couple times in the last 5 years I've been told
to go direct to an NDB. I don't have anyway to find NDBs (well, ok
GPS, but otherwise... ) Do you think there will be a formal
"forgiving" of the NDB assumption by the FAA or will it just become
another GPS waypoint?
