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. Bob Gardner "David Brooks" wrote in message ... 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). -- David Brooks "Bob Gardner" wrote in message news:nwQ%b.424998$na.813278@attbi_s04... 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. Bob Gardner "PaulaJay1" wrote in message ... 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"? Chuck |
