Narrative:
Approaching rondo intersection (IAF for pln ILS runway 32 approach) at 5000 ft MSL using LORAN as pln VOR OTS. Our aircraft picking up light rime ice so asked ZMP for lower (controller quite busy). He said the ILS runway 32 approach would not be legal with the VOR out, but to report established on the localizer. After rondo we descended to 2500 ft, then told controller we were on the localizer and VFR so will cancel IFR. He said squawk 1200 and goodnight.
