C172 PLT; WITHOUT ADF OR DME; ACCEPTS AN ILS APCH WHICH REQUIRED ADF OR DME FOR FAF IDENT. FAF POS IDENTED BY LCL CTLR.

Narrative

WHILE FLYING ON AN IFR FLT PLAN ATC ASKED ME TO ACCEPT THE ILS RWY 3 APCH INTO MKC. THE WX AT THE TIME WAS CEILINGS ABOUT 1200-1600 FT AND THE WINDS WERE FROM THE S. I SAID 'UNABLE; NOT ADF OR DME EQUIPPED.' I THEN REQUESTED THE ILS RWY 19. HE SAID HE'D PASS THE REQUEST ON AND AFTER A MIN ASKED IF I COULD ACCEPT THE 'VOR.' I WAS LOOKING AT THE NOAA BOUND APCH PLATES AT THE TIME AND WAS LOOKING AT THE VOR RWY 19 APCH PLATE. I SAID 'YES.' THE CTLR GAVE ME A VECTOR OF 70 DEGS AND TOLD ME TO EXPECT THE VOR APCH. HE BEGAN VECTORING ME AND BY THE TIME I REALIZED HE WAS VECTORING ME FOR THE VOR RWY 3 APCH I WAS INTERCEPTING THE FINAL COURSE. I REALIZED I'D MADE A MISTAKE; BUT INSTEAD OF TELLING HIM I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE APCH I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD IDENT KAWED INTXN FOR ME. HE ANSWERED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. BEFORE THE KAWED INTXN HE SENT ME OVER TO TWR AND THEY ASKED ME IF I NEEDED THEM TO CALL THE IAF. I SAID YES. THEY DID SO AND I MADE THE LNDG WITHOUT INCIDENT. I SHOULD HAVE REFUSED THE APCH AND ASKED FOR THE ILS RWY 19 APCH. HOWEVER; I DID STATE TO THE CTLR THAT I WAS NOT ADF OR DME EQUIPPED AND ASSUMED THAT HE KNEW THAT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE VOR RWY 3 APCH AS WELL AS THE ILS RWY 3 APCH.
