Hello all,

I'm just curious as to when the last time was that you used your ADF
for actual navigation? Are NDBs common in the US? It seems as though
every little airport has an ILS!

Last Saturday.
And the Sunday before that.
And on most of my cross-country flights, generally.
But ~90% of my ADF usage is supplementary to other navigation.

The needle swing when passing an LOM is supplementary, to me.
So also, is using the ADF to be ready for a clearance direct to the airport,
while being radar vectored and expecting a visual approach.
(The latter is exactly how I used my ADF last Saturday.)
