Here's my thoughts on NDB's...
A couple of years ago, the VOR was off in KGS. For the whole summer. KGS seems a popular night trip. Crap runway lights and non-existent approach lighting. We were banned from doing night visuals by our "esteemed" management. Descending into a visual circuit was considered too risky. The only alternative was a cloud break NDB which left you in the middle of flipping nowhere. Have a look at the plate. The least risk option was to fly the VOR in managed, but not entirely legal as it was an overlay. Dual GPS and all the bells and whistles. Aircraft and crew RNP/AR. More than happy to fly the RNAV approaches into Innsbruck relying on the same bits of kit without raw data back up the very next day. Go figure....
Kind of like you are driving the most bang up to date car with your precious family onboard. But you are about to descend the Stelvio Pass. At night. It's wet and maybe slippery. Who would pull over and replace their bright and shiny Bi-Xenon headlights with the Lucas light bulbs from 1971? While you are it, disable the ABS. Why stop there? Traction control is for pussies. Airbags? Pah! You get the idea.
The world has moved on. Everyone of us (from IR students in a C152 to experienced crews in a Boeing or Airbus) deserve better than NDB approaches. They belong in history.
