Looking at the latest Providence plates, they renamed the ILS DME 34
to ILS34 with a note saying DME required. I also note that the ILS23
and ILS 5 are also now DME required and that the LOM's are no longer
charted (they are still operational, but I suspect on the verge of
decommissioning since they are not charted). I understand it is legal
to use an IFR GPS for DME intersections if they are in the database,
but what about a VFR GPS? Does this charting change now make it
illegal to fly any of the ILS's into Providence without a DME or IFR
GPS on board? Does this mean I need to either install a DME or pony
up for an IFR GPS? Kind of sucks to have to put out $1000's to fly
into an airport I've called home for 10 years.

I went to find an ILS DME but can't find one.

I don't have the current plates, but maybe someone can check the
Durango, CO, La Plata, ILS DME Rwy 2, or the ILS DME 34 at Denver
International.
