I think the reason you aren't supposed to do it is that for a stand-alone
NDB approach, the accuracy of the location of the NDB in the GPS database
has not been verified.

Thanks. Just got home and that was my interpretation of the AIM. As for
Jose's question, Newps answer concerns an NDB only approach, not a NDB
GPS
overlay, and the reason being is that because in an NDB only approach you
must have the proper radios for the approach.


Which is baloney. My terminal/enroute GPS has the NDB in its database.
There's no reason I can't fly the NDB approach with my GPS. And I'll fly
it 100 times more accurately than anybody else with an ADF.
