Agreed re Safety. However, not so convinced on their usefulness particularly given some MDAs necessary to preserve Safety!! And following the needle rarely gets you to where the bit of paper suggests - certainly, via the nice straight line indicated on the chart. Recall one OPC using an NDB. ATC even asked where we were going - to which the Examiner instantly replied on my behalf and in my defence with more than a hint of tetchiness "We are following
your NDB!"
