Another question for you.... If you are using the NDB for azimuth guidance, and you are using it and PAST the IAFon a DME/GPS arival, can you now log this for NDB currency ?
No. They are different procedures and are thus listed as separate endorsements on your IR issue/renewal.

Mr Z, interesting question...

Normally I conduct DGA's with the NDB audio off after I ident it as an azimuth aid. I've never been chipped about it thus far

My thinking being that the primary defence against flying myself into terra firma is the range/distance information. Lose the DME readout and seeing dashes instead.... thats when i give it away!

But now I'm thinking that if I was using an NDB bearing to keep me in a sector for a DGA into Launy etc, I'd want to be sure that I was in the sector!
