Is there any hazard in failing to do a PT when one is depicted?


This question comes up periodically from a purely theoretical viewpoint.
When someone asks it, I like to ask how they came to be established on the
inbound course at the correct altitude. If they've been cleared direct to a
fix from a distant point they must be in radar contact and a little vector
to the FAC should be available. If they're not on a direct clearance they
must be on a valid nonradar route that happens to be aligned with the FAC,
which would have the characteristics of a NoPT segment.
