Incident
The aircraft was flying above an overcast cloud cover. Whilst tracking towards Leonora, the last NDB station fix was lost, and the pilot could not establish contact with Leonora NDB or any other stations to determine his position. The pilot was eventually able to fix his position and landed safely at Leonora. The pilot was not aware that the ADF equipment in the aircraft was not in good condition.
