[Hallicrafters] NDB

[rbethman]

Roger, Et al,

My biggest complaint with NDBs, has never the flying associated with 
them in and of itself, but the DUMB location in ALL The Pipers and 
Cessnas I have flown, the Radio for this was NEVER in the center stack!  
That radio, was ALWAYS all the way across the panel where a front seat 
passenger would sit.

It makes it a bit difficult to maintain an appropriate instrument scan, 
look out the windscreen, AND somehow add in the RDF set for the NDB.

The specific airfield identified by Skip, lists the NDB approach as the 
#1 for IFR.  So this one WILL have to be checked by Airways, and we 
haqve already beat the rest of the FAA to death that will chime in.
