Why do it if it's not fun?

Coincidentally, was talking to a RyanAir pilot about this recently. (He was telling me that although RyanAir have their faults as employers, one big advantage is that they get to go to all kinds of out-of-the-way airports where they get to do non-precision or visual approaches without having ATC virtually fly the aircraft for them..... which is how we got onto the subject). He tells me that, when flying an NDB approach, he will fly the FMS track, and this is what the autopilot will be coupled to, but he will certainly have the ADF tuned too, and will cross-check to make sure it's pointing the right way.
