MS Flight Sim - NDB RWY 8R KSUS

I practiced the NDB RWY 8R on my MS Flight Sim tonight.
Here are the steps I took:

1. Departed from 3SQ direct to FTZ VOR.

2. Arrived at the hold heading 240 degrees and made a teardrop entry.

3. Crossed over the FTZ VOR and continued heading 240.

4. Started time for one minute and flew outbound.

5. At one minute, turned right for 100 degrees heading and centering my VOR needle.

6. Once returned to the FTZ VOR, turned right for 280 outbound for one minute.

7. At one minute, turned right for 100 degrees heading and centering my VOR needle.

8. Descended to 2400 ft, twisted #2 NAV to 128 FROM 110.8 FTZ for lead in radial to approach.

9. Once returned to the FTZ VOR, turned right to 128 FROM FTZ centering the VOR needle.

10. Twisted #1 NAV to 076 for inbound course heading.

11. Twisted ADF to 128 heading.

12. At 6.4 nm from 110.8 FTZ VOR and ADF needle pointed to 076, turned left to 076.

13. Twisted ADF needle to 076 and flew the needle inbound 076.

14. The entire time I had the NDB volume turned up in order to hear the code.

15. Once the LOM SNOOP alarmed, descended to minimum of 1200 ft and began timing for 3:28 which was the MAP.

16. Rather than completing a missed, I decided to make a full stop as I was cleared for the option. Plus, I was ready to call it a night.
