Except, of course, for the famous VOR/DME OR TACAN Z RWY 15 approach at

Are you saying that you can't use the GPS in lieu of DME for that approach?
Why not?
Yes, because the DME is the "principal instrument approach navigation
source" - that approach is a DME arc to the runway.
Oh, right! I've never seen that before. Very cool looking approach.
I knew I was going to learn something new today :-)
Thanks for pointing it out.
