I wonder why anyone installs VOR, or LOC receivers on their aircraft. GPS is a legal substitute for all but Localizer navigation. Even if an approach says "ADF required", it's not - if you have GPS and a data base. Same with VOR and airway navigation. I understand localizer if you need 200 1/2 landing minumums, but otherwise, why bother? Just curious.
I haven't flown a raw ADF bearing, or VOR radial in years. Still do lots of ILS's, but that's it. The equipment available for experimental aircraft is truly state of the art and I wonder why anyone would use old stuff.
Regards,
Bill
