  Non-directional beacon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NDBs are assigned ICAO-standard three-letter identifications (however some NDB broadcast two-letter identifications), which are broadcast in Morse code to allow the pilot to identify the station.
In the United States, an NDB is often combined with the outer marker beacon in the ILS approach (called a Locator Outer Marker, or LOM); in Canada, low-powered NDBs have replaced marker beacons entirely.
NDBs typically operate in the frequency range from 190 kHz (kHz) to 535 kHz (although they are allocated frequencies from 190 to 1750 kHz) and transmit a constant carrier at modulations of either 400 or 1020 Hz.

Now check your NDB needle to see what track the NDB is on, and try to keep the needle pointing on that track (probably around 290 degrees).
If you are going towards the NDB and the needle is swinging down to the R, then you will have to turn past the needle and push it back
When you are at the Missed Approach Point (the NDB) at the MDA (925 feet) if you are still in the clouds, or the visibility is less than 2000 meters, or you are not on the 011° final track (+/- 5 degrees), you must perform a Standard Missed Approach.

 The NDB Approach
As the name implies, NDB approaches are approach procedures which use NDBs as the primary navigational aid.
NDBs are very old and and their operation is very simple, yet flying them precisely is difficult.
This is because NDB signals are less precise and they are subject to several types of interference.

 PPRuNe Forums - Dual NDB approach
I'm pretty sure that Canada used to have a few aerodromes served by Twin NDB approaches and may still have one or two in operation.
Was bloody glad that day that I originally trained in Oz where NDB approaches are the norm - and are a requirement for the issue of the rating.
I've always understood the advantage of a Twin Locator/NDB approach vs a single NDB was that the more accurate positioning achieved at the FAF (ie the 1st Locator/NDB) allows the procedure designer to use a different (smaller?) protected airspace buffer & a slightly lower MDA.
