Offshore on the North Sea, most of the platforms have an NDB to back up our Airborne Radar Approaches. If the GPS packs up. that is the only way to identify our destination.
Furthermore, I find the ADF very useful in keeping me awake during flight, but also to alert me to possible lightning via the change in static. At least that's my excuse..
So we won't be removing them just yet, I hope..
