Why is ADF required for this IAP? The marker beacon should tell you
when you're over the LOM, and the missed approach procedure says you
need to hold at the VOR or the NDB.

Is there some requirement for the use of the ADF which I'm not seeing?

Thanks,


ADF is required for the transition from COUPS.

That's interesting. In all the times I've flown that in training, I
think we've always just used the localizer. However, in looking at
the chart now, the feeder route says "1400 NoPT 015 TO LOM".

However, if you're coming in from COUPS, wouldn't you be on the
localizer before you get to the LOM? After all, by this point,
you're already on the GS. Why would anyone fly the ADF to the
LOM on this approach?


Also, what changed such that the ADF is required now, and wasn't
before? Was it always required, but the chart just didn't say so,
and they are now correcting that?

Thanks,
