Way back, during an OPC flying an NDB approach.........
ATC:- "C/S, have you got a problem up there?!!!!" as, clearly, I was not quite where ATC expected me to be - all I could see was a screen and a drunken needle!
I looked over at the examiner who smiled and then keyed the mic - "No, we're fine ...... but your NDB definitely has a problem!!!"
Of course, in normal line flying we used the NDB backed up by GPS (no GPS approach available) ................................ officially!!!!!!!!
