During ground school today the question came up of whether or not you have to listen to the NDB while in use in a glass cockpit? No one was 100% sure. The instructor believed you could basically ID like a VOR, just identify the NDB and then you could turn the sound off and there would be an indication on the screen showing if it was still working. If it went out then you know it's not. Of course the safe thing to do is just leave it on, but I'm sure we can all agree that it can drive you a little nuts after a few minutes.

Thanks!
