Now that's a great question. I suppose ATC can override anything

really.

There is no situation where the plate says ADF required that GPS cannot
substitute. And yes ATC can come up with alternate missed instructions.


Um, filing that airport as the alternate (when you are required to have an
alternate) (assuming it is the only approach) and you do not have an ADF

is
one example I can think of.


Hmmm, I have a problem with this. Aren't you risking a slap on the wrist if
you file an airport as an alternate KNOWING that you didn't have the
required equipment to begin with. Not to mention that you are playing with
your next birthday. Note, I'm not talking about an enroute failure of the
instrument.
