Any advice about whether to keep the LORAN now hanging under the panel where my knees need to go? I think we'll be re-doing the panel this winter. We have no VOR in the panel, since we'll clip a handheld GPS to the panel, will we ever use the LORAN? Rich Meyer

ADF is only needed if you plan on using older CDI instruments that require the ADF as part of an instrument approach, like our ILS at Sanford. It requires for the ADF to be there in the event of a missed approach, to use the NDB for the missed procedure. This is in the event of lost comms because ATC always gives you alternate missed instructions anyway. The FAA is decommissioning most of the NDB transmitters due to GPS, and only keeping a few for some remote airports that would be negatively effected. I would also not invest in an RMI as they are also disappearing in favor of GPS. If you have to have an analog instrument then invest in an HSI (horizontal situation indicator). 3 instruments in one, and makes analog navigation a breeze. Just some thoughts...
