I have a hunch that the terminal NDBs could not be found in the
computer because they are *terminal* NDBs, and have a limited service
volume, making them unusable for route navigation. Just a thought.


Probably true, although what I filed remained within the published service
volume. I think it is clear that you are right that they do not consider
them to be part of the "national air navigation system."

The other problem with trying to use them today... more and more of them
are broken and never scheduled to be fixed. Several airports I fly into
regularly have had their NDB's notam'd OTS for over two years. At least
the VOR's get fixed (eventually).
