Conversation: How wide is an NDB approach course?
Subject: How wide is an NDB approach course?

With an RMI you might be somewhere in town. With a fixed card you
might
not even be in the same county.

Come on now Sam, you know that's not right. NDB approaches are safe and
accurate when properly executed by trained and current pilots. They have
been for years. I will grant that they take a lot more situational
awareness than letting the GPS steer the bird down the tracks, but even
so the NDB approach still works just fine.
