NDB IAPs... going... gone

In a previous article, said:
That said, I really hope they don't take away the compass locators on
localizer and ILS approaches. I don't know why, but I love watching

Here in Rochester, they rewrote the ILS approaches to use intersections
instead of the BREIT LOM first several months ago, and then decomissioned
the NDB28 approach that used BREIT last revision.

I feel like my flying club is one of the last holdouts on getting IFR
GPSes in their aircraft, but considering the number of RNAV/GPS plates
that are going *into* the books, I think the writing is on the wall.

Yeah, we're dealing with that decision too. It's not the paying for (at
least) 5 GPSes that worries us, it's the cost of 5 database updates since
Garmin won't give a bulk discount.

Sometimes, when a luser makes an unreasonable demand, the best thing
to do is let them have exactly what they ask for.
