A local Ryan Air Captain here tells me that he does NDB letdowns regularly as some of their destinations are not ILS equipped.I'm presuming it's probably the same with EasyJet.

The young lad in my Hangar just gone professional and now has his CPL/IR (self funded!) and the IR certainly involved NDB letdowns.

NDB usage is certainly part of the UK IMC test and training. VOR is also of course part of it.

 

And to finalise this discussion it is not legal to fly in IMC or train on our LAA permit Europa aircraft! which are cleared for daylight VFR use only.

Hi Gerry.



I bet you will find that his Ryanair bomber has a simulated ADF derived from INS and GPS systems I doubt they have an ADF receiver fitted.

 

Knowing Ryanair I bet they charge the crew to use the equipment installed.

Hi.

No problem with NDB approaches, a higher minima in ALT and Vis are used.

Sometimes it VFR only landing, with an instrument approach with a break off height, then circle to land, often in mountainous terrain.

Tim Hi!

You could be right on all counts!

They seem to be fitted with Honeywell Quantum Line which does have VOR and ADF in the range somehow.
