Default GPS between Navaids and MOCA

If you are /G is it acceptable to file/request the MOCA between 2 VORs even if you are over 22nm from the navaid? Obviously navaid signal would not be needed in this instant.

Great question. I'd say you'd be okay to do it.

You would probably be allowed to.

Most routes are now putting RNAV/GPS MEA's which are usually at the MOCA

Go to airway route data:

I think you'd have to have one of those special GPSs...something about a tso or WAAS and not having to use VORs for a "backup". You wouldn't be able to back up your GPS that low.

Not sure though.

Sounds like you'd be able to do it... you sort of do it anyway when you're going "GPS direct".
