But it's legal to fly those very same approaches with a 30 year old

correct to within 1/4 mile. Gotta love the FAA.

I always wondered the same thing.

You'd think a 196 on the yoke would outperform the ADF is some situations.

I can't think of a single situation where it wouldn't, under normal
operating conditions.

You can't get the ball score on the 196.
