ATC can't tell the difference.

In fact, while training we always used the VOR. I didn't even realize
the ADF was used for the feeder until this NOTAM happened and I looked
more closely at the chart. Of course, I realize that the feeder route
takes you to the LOM because that it the FAF for the LOC-only approach.

I wonder if my instrument instructor realized this issue... He is a real
"don't sweat the details if it works" kinda guy, so I would guess not.

Who cares when in the "line of fire?" Nonetheless, the conceptual
differences are the stuff really good CFI-I's are made of, hopefully in
a briefing or debriefing.

I'm guessing he doesn't work for Carter then!

Heh, heh, ... nope. There was one guy at the FBO that seemed to
know his stuff. The assistant chief flight instructor. I had an
opportunity to fly with him for my IR stage check rides (but not
my final check, unfortunately). It is a privilege to fly with
someone like this.
