Fly by wire asked if anyone had been asked to take up an |NDB hold.
The answer in my case is yes: in E Anglia there is a distinct shortage of nice accurate VORs and for two of my last four IMC renewals I've been asked to hold at NH at Norwich.
Ok in still Wx but in half a November gale not much fun.
I'm a great believer in GPS but even with my fantastic Garmin 295 there is a bit of satellite shortage consistently over the north Norfolk coast.
However with the help of another ppruner and some accurate map plotting it was not too difficult to work out (just for idle interest and use in VMC only you understand) a bl**dy accurate ILS approach to a tiny bit of grass in the middle of nowhere.
NDB s are cool GPs is cooler
Safe flying
