Good Afternoon rodsmith52,
I received a completely blank message from you via the AeroElectric list, but based on the subject matter, I would assume you wish to discuss the need for a marker beacon receiver.
The answer to your question is: It All Depends!
A marker beacon receiver is only required if you wish to execute an approach which specifies the need for one and when there is no acceptable and usable substitute.
If you are planning to make a flight that only requires a GPS approved to C146a standards, there is no requirement for a marker beacon receiver. If you want to shoot an ILS, it is conceivable that a marker beacon receiver may be required. However, most points that are designated by a marker re also designated by some other method. Occasionally it will be an NDB. Sometimes RADAR positioning will suffice. Other times there may be a radial off of a VOR that can legally be used. In the event that the alternative for the marker is a DME distance or a bearing to or from an NDB, an IFR approved GPS may be substituted. If you will give me an example of an approach you wish to execute, I would be happy to give you my opinion of whether or not a marker beacon would be required and whether or not there are substitutions available.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob
