Its recently been added as a resquirement for the ILS 02 for KSAC. For

Well, you have to wonder how many airplanes that fly that approach
actually have a working ADF (not even counting GPS as a substitute).

Even if they have one, I wonder what percentage of pilots actually
use it (on this approach) for anything other than to detect passage
of the outer marker...

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!
