Wow. What on earth did they have in mind when the wrote that? The
route is bizarre. By the time you reach 8000, you're above the sector
MSA (and 3000 feet above anything shown on the chart). What point is
there in making you turn west to Sandpoe instead of just going direct
Coeur D'Alane?


This procedure actually seems reasonable to me (except for the error that

Bill
pointed out - 030 bearing should be 210). Using 8000 for the missed

provides
separation from incoming traffic at 7000. For a climb at 200 ft/nm, the

10
DME ensures you're above 5500 or so before turning. At that point you're
about 44 nm from the VOR, so they use the NDB for navigation until you get
back within the VOR service volume.
