I recognize that you didn't suggest disabling the ADF, after all you are the
one who fixed it. I am a little surprised at the attitude expressed by
others though. If flying an NDB approach is beyond ones capibility, then
flying real IMC is pretty risky business and might end badly. Good luck on
the checkride.

Wow! I can't believe all the posts recommending ways of disabling the

Dumbing down the test so that you can pass it is not a good idea and that
philosophy is not going to make anyone good at anything. I like the idea
of
using a flightsim to practice.

Oh, I'm not going to disable it. I have practiced NDB approaches before
in the simulator. After fixing the ADF right before picking up my
instructor I managed to fly a passable NDB approach.

I was actually sort of concerned that so many VOR/ILS approaches require
DME around here that if my DME (probably the most advanced bit of nav
equipment in the plane!) failed my options would be really limited if I
didn't have a working ADF.
