Not anything. They cannot construct a non-radar missed approach
procedure, nor can they waive notes on an approach chart (those
are regulatory).



They're regulatory? Please cite the regulation.

Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14, Part 97, Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures. The procedures, including notes, are promulgated in
the National Flight Data Digest to complete the requirements of Part 97.


The need for equipment requirement notes is determined by evaluating all
SIAP segments, including the missed approach procedure. A few years ago
many of these notes began appearing on procedures where the entire approach
could be flown without use of the specified equipment. Apparently some
approach designers did not have a good understanding of how approaches are
flown.


Equipment requirement notes are addressed in FAAO 8260.19 para 855 h,
"Equipment requirement notes". Although the need for specific equipment
to fly the final approach will be identified in the procedure title
(VOR/DME, etc), the requirement for additional equipment in other
segments such as feeders or missed approach will be listed in the notes
section.
