Note this is a VOR or GPS approach. Sorry if I just assumed that there would
be on-board EITHER a DME or an IFR certified GPS that would provide the
distance-measuring requirements of the DME/Radar minima. Pretty good chance
the jet in question had both. And maybe you understand this, but youir
reference to Radar implies that maybe you do not. The 'Radar' reference is
NOT referring to whether the plane is radar equipped, but rather whether
there is radar coverage from the ground. Which in fact should allow an
aircraft WITHOUT DME to descend to 680 (if receiving advisories from the
tower/approach)

No I completely understand what RADAR means. I know it means radar
contact from ATC. I mistyped an "and" instead of "or" in a previous
post about whether the different crossing restrictions were allowed if
and only if there was DME on board or radar guidance from ATC.

shrug It seems inconsistent with other uses of "/" (e.g. VOR/DME)
meaningthat both are required.
