In some other posts, at least one person made comments that
suggest to me that an IFR-certified GPS receiver could be used
in lieu of an ADF even though the approach procedure specifically
states: "ADF-required". Is this true? What document(s) are the
basis for this?
Thanks

Twas me. I got the info from my CFII/Accident Prevention Counselor/Arnav GPS
owner. A GPS certified for "terminal" can be used to find iaf’s and other
parts of an approach (but not fly the approach itself – like past the faf
perhaps). I think this comes from the POH supplement for the GPS receiver/
installation. Will try to find out more.

Craig, unless you’re with the NTSB or a professional accident
reporter, you’ve attended WAY more than your share of accidents.
The word "jinx" comes to mind. It’s not that I wouldn’t want to
meet you, but please don’t visit Houston any time soon. Oh, and
I wouldn’t mind if you’d stay away from those Shuttle landings,
too. We have a hard enough time landing without engines.

Now Now, is he a "jinx", or is he an extremely LUCKY person for not
having been killed in any of these crashes?
I witnessed my first crash ever at the Concord, NH, airshow last
summer. A Steerman with a wingwalker (the pilot’s daughter) crashed
and burned right in front of me and my 8 year old daughter. I hope to
never repeat the experience.
