The missed approach from MDA demands accurately tracking an NDB back bearing. Not every ADF installation does back bearings as well as front bearings.

How many crews today can do a good wind correction on an NDB bearing?

Was there any calibration flown on the approach?

Even more exciting would be flying a missed from as much as 4000' below the MDA. Was calibration for the missed flown from just above the runway?
