I am an ATP instructor and I do teach a thorough ground school as well as how to shoot NDB, LOC BC, and DME Arc VOR approaches. I believe you need to bring this issue up with your instructor if you are not satisfied with your training. Please don't judge all of ATP based on an experience with one instructor. In your instructor's defense, it is difficult to teach you to do a NDB approach when there are no NDB's in the aircraft or the simulator. If you are interested in learning how to shoot an approach without the GPS then try it with your instructor in the sim. Load in the VOR or LOC frequencies and use only the approach plates and the needle on the HSI. As far as Sim Time is concerned if you didn't get the hours you were entitled to don't sign the pairing form. Please don't let one bad experience with one instructor make you form an opinion about all of ATP.
