RNAV vs IFR GPS

Just look in a book of approach plates, David, and you will see approaches
listed as VOR/DME RNAV.

I have nothing to do with the publication of updates. ASA policy is that
only "safety of flight" information will be updated...everything else waits
for the next edition.

VOR-DME is RNAV too? Now I'm confused.

When can we get those updates, Bob? (I note that asa2fly.com is a little
sparse in the "textbook updates" department).

I feel your pain. Since the FAA lumped GPS, Loran, and VOR-DME into one
basket labelled RNAV, I have been going nuts trying to keep my books up
to
date. The KNS-80 and its ilk are still around, so I have to discuss that
kind of RNAV, but because there are so many approaches labelled RNAV
(GPS),
the potential for confusion is there. It all boils down to the fact that
if
you can fly a random route using any one of the three, you have RNAV.

Coming into CLE the other day the controller ask if I had RNAV and I
said
no,
that I was /G ,that is, IFR GPS. He said that it was the same and
gave
me
direct.....
Is it the same, should I have answered yes to his question? Of course
I
can
navigate direct but do I have "RNAV"?
