Can the approach be flown leagally by requesting alternate

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.


I am not sure you understood my point. The poster I replied to says an IFR
GPS can replace ADF any time. I suggested that is not the case.
Specifically, filing for an alternate that has an approach that says "ADF
required" when you do not have an ADF installed (even if you have a gps) and
there are no other approaches suitable is not legal. You can't substitute
GPS for ADF for an alternat apprch. (filed)

I think you have come to the same conclusion, though not in the same way?
