[Boatanchors] What VLF/LF Boatanchors are "affordable"

[Dan Arney]

Francessco is correct on flying NDB approaches. I have flown them all 
over the world, in Canada NWT we used to fly 8 to 10 Zero/Zero 
approaches in ice fog to ice stripe hauling fuel, cargo and PAX N 
accidents in 2 years of doing them.
You have to keep track of time, bearing, track heading, altitude at all 
points in the approach, Ground speed and time to run until "Runway or 
Missed approach positive rate Gear up flaps for your configuration. And 
it ia lot easier with the non flying pilot to be up to speed..
But as the PIC the ball is in your court.

The approach into Dubrovnik is no big deal we did it weekly in 707's all 
it takes is to be aware of where you are and FLY THE AIRPLANE.
The USAF guys were just not up to speed going in there and there is no 
GCI or GCA it is back to Piloting skills and being up to speed and above 
  all in stable condition at the IAF and in the groove in any approach, 
Whether, GCA, ILS, GPS, NDB, ASR or VFR runway in sight 20 miles out, be 
stable. and if it all hits the basket go around. If you go around do it 
only twice and get out of there and goto the alternate because by this 
time you are getting flustered and the prong factor is way up there.
