Anybody up for a challenge?

Nice job Naresh! I had a preliminary pass at this the other night in my Piper Seminole. It wasn't very pretty. That made it very clear that you need a good ADF to make this work. The ADF in my Seminole is hard to read and can't be brought up without losing sight of everything else. So, I'll have to try again with one of my better IFR aircraft. Have you tried flying these approaches without using the autopilot? That makes it really tough.

Naresh,

OK, I gave it a shot using my trusty Money M20J. I don't think it is quite as neat as yours. The M20J has no RMI, so I was reduced to tracking the NDB using the ADF, aka RBI. This proves to be kind of unintuitive for me, particularly outbound the NDB. Nonetheless, I managed to break out within sight of the threshold and make a half decent landing. I had no crosswind and did use the AP, so it could have been a lot tougher. On the other hand, I made no use of the GPS, of the colocated VOR or of the ILS/DME; I navigated strictly on the NDB itself. The plot and some pics of the flight are in "More of Mike's Miscues."
