Default More IFR with VFR GPS questions

I'd have to respectfully disagree, as RNAV capability should be filed as
follows:

/Y LORAN, VOR/DME, or INS with no transponder
/C LORAN, VOR/DME, or INS with transponder (No Mode C)
/I LORAN, VOR/DME, or INS with transponder (Mode C)


As well as /E, /F, /G, /R, /J, /K, /L, and /Q.



Since I filed /A direct, that does not give any indication I have RNAV
capability.


Yes it does. Any time you file a direct route between airports hundreds of
miles apart you're indicating you have RNAV capability. Do you really think
ATC will conclude you cannot navigate the route you filed because you filed
/A and then clear you as filed?



Unless of course you wish to use that word assume, which you said
yourself, you don't do in newsgroups.


Can you see now why I don't assume anything in these groups?
