what happens if we have Notam for NDB unserviceable for OM ( outer marker ) , Can we get OM indication warning like Blue light & 2 dash/sec ...

Question asked to me for my ATPL oral ,
they said NDB is unserviceable but marker is serviceable so you get OM indication in cockpit.. Is it true ?

There can be an NDB co-located with the outer marker, if this is the case (check on the approach plate), if this is the case, and the Outer Marker is not notammed as U/S, then the marker ident should still be functional in the cockpit.

An NDB and marker systems are two entirely different systems. The failure of one won't result in the failure of the other, unless of course a truck hit the buildings they were in.
