Narrative:

While conducting an instrument competency check, I was unable to identify the ILS 24 at isp on navigation #1 and navigation #2. Further investigation revealed that the ADF was also inoperative. At this point I alerted ATC of my situation. The controller asked if I would like to declare an emergency at this time. Since I was in IMC, I said yes. ATC gave me vectors to the approach end of 24 at isp, at which time I broke out of the clouds and landed at isp visually. The ATC system worked extremely well and this was an excellent learning experience for myself and my student.
