We deal with the same thing here at BIL. We have an ILS that requires
radar and DME. Whenever they take the DME out of service they notam the
whole approach OTS. Nobody can give me a good reason why the approach
can't be left in service and just have the notam state that DME is not
available.


DME is needed to determine the MAP for the ILS RWY 28R when flown to
localizer minimums.
