recommend ignoring the wind correction after the FAF
That's exactly what I'm saying. Good station passage then turn heading to match inbound track for one minute and reassess and chances are you will be almost bang on. If there major drift establish an incept heading and fly that but chances are you will so close to centre line no correction is required. Now to throw your "what if" which can back fire on you because you are chasing your tail, in actual IMC chances of a major wind shift in speed and direction is very likely so what you cross the beacon at and hold that heading thinking you are correcting properly will also sell you down the river. Think about that. At some time inbound you need to asses your track and the one minute point is about the best place. Once people get on to this NDB approaches become a non issue. Why do guys fuck them up, Because they are chasing shit right from the get go and generally generate the errors themselves and the wind has nothing to do with it.
Back in the day BGPS like BC Lmfaoooooo I would generate straight in NDB approaches (ya home brews) where there were circling approaches published and using the knowledge that the Colonel explained it makes sense you can fly a straight in approach with a beacon which is not on the centre line if you establish the runway track far enough out and hold the heading once the needle starts to open up. Instead of scaring the shit out of myself with a circling approach it would break out looking at the runway. Just PFM -- so simple in the flat lands - now for the mountains radar was the primary tool and the ADF was the backup.
