Default When was the last time you used your ADF?

I once made an NDB approach in IMC to a field whose ILS approach was
pointing downwind at the time. Usually, though, my use of the ADF is for
an ILS's LOM.


What field?

At one time, maybe they still do, TVC (Traverse City) had an NDB
approach off what was also the LOM on the ILS. Of course it was
pointed in the same direction as the ILS, but you could do a circle to
land off it. OTOH they also had a VOR that would have been a lot
easier and made more sense, at least to me.

Actually I remember that one as the DE had me fly that NDB for a
circle to land on my check ride and it was down wind against opposing
traffic. We must have looked kinda strange coming down the approach
to those airliners getting ready to depart.
