Does anyone know why the Mansfield OH MFD ILS RWY 32
approach plate has ADF or Radar Required written on it?


Sure. It's because the person procedure that developed or reviewed the
procedure believed ADF or approach radar was required to fly the approach.



I can understand that without radar vectors, setting up for the ILS
approach would require ADF so that one overflies the NDB outbound, stays

within ten miles, and then comes back to intercept the glideslope;
therefore, radar vectors or ADF would be required for this approach.


You don't need ADF or radar to fly this approach. There's a feeder route
from MFD and the marker beacon works just as well as the NDB to identify
MANNS.



But this is obvious on other approach plates without spelling it
out. Why is this verbiage written
on this approach plate?


It's an error.
