This was an "actual" approach. Much of my actual time comes from practicing
approaches on days like this one, and KAGC provides alot to offer close to
home. The club planes I fly are all equipped with ADF's, but rarely is the
station out of service. Because of radar, garmin 195,co-pilot and a ceiling
well above ILS minimums, I felt comfortable flying this approach.
Legal...no. Useful for quality practice...absolutely.

On Aug 28 I was practicing approaches at KAGC (FEW 008 BKN 012 OVR 025

BR). My preflight brief indicated that the McKeesport NDB is out of
service.
Yet, the ATIS identified runway 28 as active and we were given the ILS 28
approach for practice (upon request). Is this approach legal without the
beacon?

As a side note, is the equipment that you fly still using ADF?

Since it was a practice approach (VFR I assume) it would be legal even
if the loc was out of service.
However, even as an acutal IFR approach it can still be given assuming
you can identify the ADF on your GPS.
