Question

BmPilot21,

once a while I get to fly NDB approaches. And, each time I never get a steady needle. Thatīs why, we fly NDB approaches with the FMS.

So, why would you use heading select on a NDB approach and chase the needle instead of flying with the FMS? Are there any limitations. As far as I can see, the FMS keeps me better on track than Heading Select.
