It's easy just overlay created GPS points over the NDB approach and bingo you are in business
But I stress I am not promoting the NDB as some brilliant aid but having the ability to fly one accurately and read the winds from one track to another will make any other instrument approach a piece of cake
Pace - and how many times have you said the same thing by now, it is getting a bit repetitive.
And what kind of business I would be in? Business of flying an approach that no longer exists in my part of the world or looking at a needle which isn't there?. Some of you simple can't get over the basic facts that we either don't care for NDB or we simply have no chance of flying one even if we desperately wanted one. There are plenty of VORs left, plenty of VOR/DME approaches, they completely got overlooked in this discussion, if I need to feel like a macho pilot I can fly one, they are still commonplace.
