Everybody navigates with dead reckoning when the electrons

One question I'm having in my airplane search is that my home airport's ILS
approach (FRM ILS 13) requires an ADF. How do I deal with that if I can't
get an ADF in the airplane?

A lot of airports use an NDB for missed approach instructions, or they
use the NDB as a fix for other types of approaches. If it is part of
the missed approach instructions, you simply ask ATC for alternate
missed approach instructions. Pilots do this all the time at airports
like Bremerton (PWT).

Fairmont's ILS 13 plate does not leave any room for doubt, however. The
ADF is required, so I guess they don't want to give you any alternate
missed approach instructions. The only answer here is that you just
don't fly the ILS.

Any of y'all taken the FAA commercial written recently?

We're having a spell of bad weather here, so I got the ASA commercial
test prep book for hangar flying fun. I've got all the flight
experience needed for a commercial, minus the specific practical test
preparation, so I guess I'll try for that rating for my next BFR.

What I see is that the questions are still all full of what I call
"Simon says" type problems: absurdly picky gotchas along with
impossible to read fuzzy graphs. In one of them the "right" answer is
689 feet ground roll and one of the wrong answers is 716 feet. Now how
can anyone read those fuzzy pictures precisely enough to tell the
difference?

So, for anyone's who's done it lately: do you get a printed, fuzzy
book to read the charts from on the actual computer test? How is the
test run? It's been quite awhile since I took private and instrument.
Things might have changed since then.

One more rant: why do they have so many ADF questions? How long has it
been since anyone's seen an airplane with a working ADF?

Yesterday.

How very special. Unsurprising, as it's been clear for some time that
you are a very special sort of aviator.

I'm done with the written now but still have yet to see a working ADF.
The few old dogs I've seen that are still hauling one around have all
had them placarded inop.

Yeah, only speshul peeple fly with ADFs.

We can't dispatch without at least one working if an approach requiring one
is anticipated.
I suggest you stop flying ****.

A good suggestion, no doubt, but beat up old **** with half the
instruments inop tends to be what's available.

Oh, I am insufficiently advanced in piloting skills to have realized
the importance of doing that. I will seek out a working ADF tout de
suite.
