The fading legacy of NDB approaches: why flying “rare” procedures is harder than it sounds An analysis of NDB instrument approaches argues that their low frequency and legacy status make them operationally brittle. It highlights how the limited exposure pilots get to non-precision procedures increases workload and raises the bar for procedure discipline, briefing, and execution—especially when conditions demand accuracy.
