Pre-takeoff checklist
The FAR states:
The only required navigational equipment is that equipment appropriate to the ground facilities being used.
So, does this mean that you could have an IFR certified aircraft (nav equipment is not on the MEL), have an IFR ticket, file an IFR flight plan, and then do the whole thing with ATC telling you where to go?
I am assuming that the destination, as you "pop out of IMC" is VFR because I can't see how you could land without ADF, DME, VOR, GPS or whatever. Or could you?
So this begs the question, which may have been answered here before, apologies, what is the minimum (non-GPS please) nav equipment needed to reasonably fly IFR?
Would a single VOR do it (I guess assuming you are a Charles or Amelia)?
