When within 10 degrees of the published course.

That's not a lot, since NDBs can be anything up to 30 degrees off,
IME. My local one certainly can be; it's on a coast (SHM at EGKA). But
that IAP is also DME-based.


An NDB is to a shotgun, as an ILS is to a rife with a scope. It's a
let down to an area of probability at a safe, conservative altitude.


If the NDB is on the nose, I would agree. If it is on the tail,
however, and the MAP is near the max distance limites, it is a crap
shoot whether you will remain in the primary area of protected airspace.
