Now if you DO have visual contact, glideslope guidance vs no glideslope guidance is preferable (although minimums may have something to do with obstacles).
EDIT: Further clarification that Evan may also have a point for night VMC if there's terrain. The NDB approach would provide terrain separation, while visually you would not blindly folow a swinging needle, but suppliment your heading visually....
...and when you finally reach minimums or some intelligent point, nothing prohibits the use of a VASI/PAPI.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

Flying them off the FMS with a bearing pointer displayed for legality is slightly more common...Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

True, but developed countries tend to use resources to make GPS approaches out of NDB or VOR approaches, and even develop better precision or non-precision GPS approaches where no instrument approach was available (not even NDB).
A GPS non-precision approach is much more solid and stable (and hence safe) than an NDB approach even if both of them are flown using the glass.

One failure of this jetphoto is that it shows neither the actual TDZE nor the traditional TDZE. I also found the focus and lighting to be bad, the aircraft to be cropped horribly (all I see is a little clip of the windshield wiper and nose), and maybe even some dust spots. It will probably be rejected.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
