I agree, flight sims can be quite useful for practicing radio navigation procedures, However as the original poster asking the question is a 30 hour PPL student I would hope is instructor is not teaching him NDB tracking at this stage in his training. I wonder is this sort of NDB exercise typically conducted during any part of the training for the British PPL ?
