NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT — SCOPE OF RNAV SUBSTITUTION

(a)     Applications of RNAV substitution include use to:

(1)     determine aircraft position relative to or distance from a VOR, marker, DME fix or a named fix defined by a VOR radial or NDB bearing;

(2)     navigate to or from a VOR, or NDB, except as lateral guidance in the FAS of an IAP;

(3)     hold over a VOR, NDB, or DME fix;

(4)     fly an arc based upon DME;

(5)     fly an overlay of a conventional departure, arrival, approach or route except as lateral guidance in the FAS of an IAP.

(b)     RNAV substitution for ADF, marker and VOR may be used where airborne and/or ground-based equipment is not available.

(c)      RNAV substitution for DME may be used where the ground-based DME transponder is unserviceable or the airborne DME transceiver is found to be unserviceable in flight. Caution must be exercised by the pilot-in-command when calculating and using GNSS distances to the active waypoint as reference points are often different.
