I am curious to know how many airports exist where you have to fly a non-
radar instrument approach (ie feeder routes, IAF, procedure turn etc..). I
have come across a few in Colorado and New Mexico, but I have never
encountered one in other areas I have flown.

There are a few thousand oil and gas production platforms in the Gulf of
Mexico that are beyond both radar and radio coverage from ATC. We fly IFR
approaches to them regularly.
